This is more about a business plan, however. The Preferred Results report of 2017 pointed out that breeding in excess in Ireland is a financial risk to the viability of greyhound racing here. Between 83% and 85% of the dogs racing in Britain are coming from Ireland but now the British greyhound racing body is saying it wants to reduce the reliance on Irish dogs.

I would have thought that this is a business risk for Greyhound Racing Ireland.
