The Minister said that each coursing meeting was carefully monitored. Can the Minister say if the coursing meeting at Castleisland on 25 and 26 October of this year was carefully monitored and if so, if he has any details, because there were extensive press reports of serious malpractices at that meeting? If the Minister is not aware of it and does not have any report, will he investigate the matter and communicate the details of that report to me?

I am not aware of that malpractice. Secondly, I should be glad to inquire into the circumstances of the case if the Deputy will let me have the details.

We will now move on to questions nominated for priority. I want to remind Deputies that in respect of these questions only the Deputy in whose name the question appears is entitled to ask supplementaries.
