Alleged Issue of Abuse of Greyhounds: Bord na gCon
Mr. Frank Nyhan:
Under the new Act, we have much more authority to increase the fines. We have the overriding authority under the new Act to impose very heavy penalties on those who bring our industry into disrepute. I refer to their future involvement in the industries. The members can take it that we will be using those powers. I will not specify any particular person or event in that regard. Where we are given the powers, we intend to use them.
