Táim thar a bheith sásta. That was a very comprehensive answer and I appreciate it. I concur with almost everything the Minister said. Can I take from his figures that he and his Department would consider supporting a cross-agency approach to people from groups such as the Traveller community who have a tradition of keeping horses? Does he believe that, where appropriate, areas could be set up in places such as Galway where the tradition could be practised and where horses could be kept safely? Could it not be done in a regulated manner with people taking responsibility for the horses they own?
