Verona Murphy: I will contribute again later, but I am particularly concerned about the issue of welfare. According to the jockeys I know, there are fewer welfare issues where jockeys have received accredited training. It is part of all of the welfare issues we are speaking about. Horse Racing Ireland's record states it spent €7 million on welfare last year but I do not see where. I have one...
