Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017

Mr. Gerard Dollard:
The board has been pushing for such a system for a number of years. It is now included in the Greyhound Racing Act 2019. We have had discussions with the Irish Coursing Club and the Greyhound Board of Great Britain. We have also taken some advice from Greyhound Racing Victoria. We expect the project of establishing a traceability system for racing greyhounds to go out to tender by the end of October. We foresee that system as being online and what one would expect from a modern system, that is, that it will feature up-to-date, real-time data.
