Thank you, Nuala. A working group consisting of representatives from a range of equine organisations in Northern Ireland, Ireland and Great Britain, chaired by Dr Jan Melia, was established to review the recommendations from the Katie Simpson review in relation to safeguarding in the equine industry. The first meeting of the group has taken place, and a further date has been scheduled. My Department is represented on that group by CAFRE's head of equine branch, and I am happy to keep you updated on that important matter.
