Bord na gCon - Annual Accounts 2011

Mr. Adrian Neilan:

Our remit is industry wide. It covers all of the Republic of Ireland. We must safeguard the 10,000 jobs in the industry. Let us look at some of those private stadia, such as Clonmel. We invested in Clonmel. The stadium was not fit for purpose and it needed a new stand. There are very good greyhound owners and breeders in Clonmel. There is a lucrative local market. We felt that this stadium needed investment. We invested in it because we are confident about its future.
