Mr. Denis Healy:

I thank the Oireachtas Members who put a lot of work into the legislation. The Irish Greyhound Board now has powers to make regulations dealing with the health and welfare of greyhounds. That is something we did not have. We also have powers to make regulations for the administration of funds. Funds can be ring-fenced after consultation with the Minister. It will include making provision for the rehoming of greyhounds. There is now no excuse for not getting this right because the powers are available. It is a case of doing it.
