Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Chapter 10 - Forestry Grants

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

It is clear from recent months that all that has to be reviewed. I am satisfied that Bord na gCon has taken on the lessons of the events of recent months and is working hard to improve welfare. What we saw on that programme was the behaviour of individual owners. I do not believe it is reflective of the vast majority of people involved in the greyhound sector, but it is clear that the sector has a job to do to restore its reputation. That is very important and I think the board is determined to do that because it has a difficult job.
