I know it has come out but does Mr. Dollard disagree with any of the facts put into the public domain through the "Prime Time Investigates" programme? The programme reported that there was a higher concentration on breeding than on the sport of greyhound racing. It pointed out that taxpayers' money is being used to subsidise this industry and suggested that there is the potential for that money to be used to subsidise below-cost selling of greyhounds. There were also issues around animal welfare and so on. People were looking at this and asking where is the accountability. When I try to get answers to questions I am told that we do not really have proper accountability because the proper systems are not in place. Would Mr. Dollard agree with "Prime Time Investigates"? The answer is either "Yes" or "No" because this is not something that is subjective. We were either subsidising below-cost selling of greyhounds overseas or we were not. Would Mr. Dollard agree with the analysis of the RTÉ programme?
