I understand there were 14 or 15 meetings held between the Department and the board of Bord na gCon between the time it received the report and Dr. Smyth found out about it and that it never once mentioned it. Dr. Smyth has said it should have told him about it. Given the relationship between any Department and any State body which reports to that Department, that is deeply worrying. That is not a question but a statement. It is absolutely shocking. If the fact that the Department was not told about the report does not set off alarm bells in it, there are larger issues within it. Would the Department consider carrying out an audit of receipts to the Irish Greyhound Board from all stadiums and the process by which it is done?
