I am acutely people get a lot of enjoyment from racing, particularly horse racing. How does the industry in Ireland compare with other countries? Mr. Gleeson referenced the UK and France.

We are a sports mad country, and I am interested in sport myself, right across the spectrum. It was €157 million to Sport Ireland for all the other sports.
