Sir, After all the waiting the new Curragh is finally up and running. I must say it is a fabulous new stand, I would think matching any other racecourse in the world. That’s the good news.

Disappointingly, as the day went on I spoke to many racegoers who had complaints to air, such as why was the gate entrance to the main car park at Ballymany roundabout locked? This caused a tailback of traffic, back from the only other entrance to the car park.
