I thought it was interesting that I heard her say she supported the sector. In his contribution in the Dáil, Deputy Carthy was adamant that he and Sinn Féin support the sector. The point I made to him was I hear different contributions from different Members, in particular Senator Boylan, who it appears is against the sector.

The point made to Deputy Carthy was that I expect Sinn Féin, although he did not clarify this, will vote against funding for the horse and greyhound sectors today, despite the fact Sinn Féin representatives have said they support these sectors. I also made the point to him if those who depend on these sectors for their employment were depending on Sinn Féin to support the sector in government, considering that those it wants to go into government with are left-wing parties and are adamantly against the sectors then those in the horse and greyhound racing sectors-----
