Paul Daly: It is okay. I was nearly there anyway. Could I get some more information on the RUS? We might forget about its inadequacies for the moment. There was mention of 64 applicants but did they apply of their own free will? Has anybody drawn it down, irrespective of the fact that what could be drawn down is not going anywhere near compensating them for the project on hand? In other words, has...

Paul Daly: Finally, what about sporadic ash, such as my own ash at home? I presume the sporadic ash tree in hedges and hedgerows is affected likewise.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I welcome the representatives of HRI. I congratulate Ms Eade on being appointed CEO and wish her the very best in her role. With the exception of one or two questions at the end I shall rigidly stick to seeking information or clarification about some of the points that she made in her presentation. In the Chairman's absence, it was very predictable when Ms Eade spoke of the HRI...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Yes. There were numerous different meetings with Horse Racing Ireland representatives here over this term and the previous term, at which this was discussed. Where are we with that at the moment? How soon does Ms Eade see that coming to fruition?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: So, it is nowhere on the horizon at the moment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: In her submission, Ms Eade touched on Brexit and the issues therein. I have one question about which small breeders have been on to me. I will put on the record that I too have one brood mare, so I know what these people are on about. The question relates to the five-day notice. Has Horse Racing Ireland had any communication with the Department on this? The five-day notice must be given...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Is Horse Racing Ireland in negotiations to try to come up with some kind of solution? Has HRI taken this up on behalf of the breeders?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Perfect. There is another point, and I do not want to be negative about what is a positive, but will Horse Racing Ireland thread out a little bit more about the support for breeders and the IRE incentive? Again, going back to the small breeders, if one wins the €10,000 voucher it is used at the sale and that money will filter down to the breeder. If a bred horse has won a race, the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I am not knocking the scheme. I see its merits. I am not being flippant but one man said to me that under the circumstances at the minute he needs a dig out, and the last thing he needs is a voucher to go to the sales to buy another horse. He told me that he wants to be getting rid of horses.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Is there any way it could hit a broader audience?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I do get that, but I just wondered about it. Has HRI had any negotiations with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with regard to getting equine enterprises or equine farms included in TAMS, for example with loading or handling of horses, from a safety perspective? I believe it has been touted and looked at by the Department. Has HRI had any involvement in those...
