Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Dr. David McGrath:

There is not really enough information in the heads of the Bill about that issue. The lab, like any lab, will need to be continually upgraded. Whether it is meldonium or any other drug, there is always a race to stay ahead of the testers. It depends on how the lab is funded in future. As it stands, I am sure it now has a state-of-the-art machine that, if it is allowed to do its work and the technicians are allowed to do their work, will be adequate. Obviously, it will need to be upgraded as things go on.
