I believe a financial analysis could be done on all of the sporting organisations and it, in many cases, would be multiples of what Mr. Dollard has mentioned there. We will leave that point there.
Greyhounds are not treated as dogs but as livestock, which puts them out of the ambit of the ISPCA which confers an extra responsibility.
I was not aware that the Irish Coursing Club had control of the studbook. Which dogs do Bord na gCon have responsibility for rehoming? Is it those that have raced and registered with the board or is it all the greyhounds that are born? How is that adjudicated upon?
