I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Doyle, for the comprehensive response. He understands this. I thank the Minister of State as well for his efforts in bringing this legislation forward and his commitment to try to have it before Christmas. We will welcome that.

The Minister of State is correct. The path of engagement is one which can solve some of these issues on both sides.

The only supplementary I would add is to ask the Minister of State to use whatever influence he can to encourage the Irish Greyhound Board to reply to representations that are made to it.
