Mr. Gerard Dollard:

That additional money would be put into the foster care programme so if people were in a position to take greyhounds that needed a home, the IGB would provide financial support. They also agreed the confidential phone line which was set up immediately. They agreed the increase in rehoming support, particularly to incentivise Irish rehomings, and a range of other measures. Subsequently, at the agriculture committee, there was a further range of measures outlined about the care fund and the setting up of special arrangements.
