Alleged Issue of Abuse of Greyhounds: Bord na gCon
Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source
A person's greyhounds were being exported and were stopped at Heathrow Airport. Why was that person not banned from greyhound racing? He has proven himself to be totally immune to animal welfare. I noted Bord na gCon placed conditions on his licence and so on but I do not understand why he was not banned from racing greyhounds. I know our guests do not want to comment on an individual case but surely imposing a ban would be a real indication that Bord na gCon was taking these matters seriously.
