As part of the committee's brief we will engage with stakeholders involved in the greyhound industry in pre-legislative scrutiny.

Delegates from Horse Racing Ireland have appeared before the committee to discuss these matters and we have invited them to return for a further meeting. We will, as part of our brief, have an ongoing engagement with the two sectors throughout the lifetime of the Dáil. The committee will have an opportunity to feed into whatever process develops.
