Ms Geraldine Larkin:

In the event that we are refused there are still a number of options open to us. We could still dispose of the land with its current zoning and current valuation. In the event that we do that, as the Deputy rightly pointed out at the start, there remains a significant amount of debt to be addressed. In those circumstances, the IGB would be forced to look at other assets that it holds. That would become a very difficult decision because the sale of any assets in our ownership and control, outside of Dublin, will impact on the local greyhound industry and will have a detrimental effect on the greyhound pool in that area. The priority for the present is to continue to engage with Dublin City Council, local representatives and local Deputies.
