Paul Daly: That is why I asked at the start why Dr. Suann was picked. Somebody off-island could have been picked and could have been given IHRB access-all-area passes because there were races at the time. I would have thought that that would have been taken into consideration. Dr. Suann knew about Covid when the decision was being made. Did that not influence the decision as to who to pick?

Paul Daly: I have just a couple more brief questions. They will not be as long-winded. We discussed the authorised officers a lot the last time the witnesses were before us. We also discussed training of the authorised officers and a training manual. I think the Department was to give training. The witnesses can correct me if I am wrong about the following. Was there an incident recently in which...

Paul Daly: It was their people, though. I am asking if they entered the premises. This is not about Northern Ireland but about authorised officers from the IHRB. I am led to believe they entered a premises. Irrespective of the fact that they had been trained by the Department and one of the submissions refers to the legal aspect of the authorised officer, still I am led to believe, and I am just...

Paul Daly: Can the Department confirm whether authorised officers from our Government, the Department or the IHRB have authority to enter private property, be it licensed or unlicensed, outside this jurisdiction?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Since our inquiries started, how often has the IHRB met with the trainers or the trainer representative bodies to discuss everything that has been ongoing? When was the last time the IHRB met them and when might it propose to meet them again? I am led to believe that such meetings do not happen with great frequency.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
