Brian Stanley: We note the correspondence we have received and it will be published on the committee website, but members still have a number of questions. My own take is it that the two figures are fairly substantial. I will not revisit the points that have been made.

We will have it for our next meeting. I suggest that we wait and consider that item of correspondence and then decide what to do. Is Deputy Carthy happy enough with that approach? It may provide some insight for the committee.

In the correspondence, OLAF advises that it has opened an investigation but is not in a position to provide further information "so as not to prejudice any potential follow-up at national level". That is what it states in the correspondence. As neither I nor members have had sight of that correspondence, I suggest that...

The first of the three is correspondence item No. 396 B, from Mr. Brian Kavanagh, chief executive of Horse Racing...

If a tender was sought for the roll-out of CCTV, which we know is needed, given that certain incidents have occurred in stable yards at racecourses, a company could have been employed for a portion of that...

Brian Stanley: We will seek those. There is a proposal that the committee writes to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine about the prize money. When doing so we can also raise the issue of salaries. Commercial sensitivity normally kicks in where a particular entity has competitors but I do not see any competitors.
