Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Head 2 is the interpretation section. I draw the committee's attention specifically to the definitions of "racing code" and "racing sanctions". These are the second last and third last bullet points in the list of matters interpreted. These are significant because we are establishing controls and appeals committees by statute to administer the sanctions. If members are amenable to it, we might have a more substantial discussion on these when we get to the relevant heads pertaining to the controls and appeals committees. These are important provisions. The provision here is simply a definition that is required elsewhere.
