Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I listened with great interest to the Minister's contribution. Before he publishes the guidelines, will he hold further meetings with the stakeholders involved? I welcome to the Visitors Gallery the chief executive of the Irish Coursing Club, Mr. D. J. Histon, who takes this business very seriously. I am sure he would like to have an input into the guidelines. If the Minister was to liaise with the people concerned before the guidelines are published, he might address some of the issues raised by Senators.
