Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017

Mr. Gerard Dollard:
Let me respond to use of the line, "Dog Pool Size is out of control". When the report was presented to the board in September 2017, we were actually having difficulties in filling racecards at stadia. In some places the report is based on 2009 and 2015 data. What was set out in the report did not reflect the actual experience on the ground and in the industry at the time when there was an acute shortage of racing dogs.
