Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

Few areas have been subject to more reviews. A series of reviews have been undertaken, including the Indecon report on greyhound racing. Leading up to the preparation of the greyhound racing Bill, which will be before the Oireachtas shortly, there were further reviews. It is an area that has been subject to significant scrutiny, including public scrutiny. People have different views.

I am not washing my hands of anything, but the board of Bord na gCon has core responsibility for Bord na gCon's operations and it would be improper of me to start micromanaging all of our State agencies. That would be to remove the responsibility that rightly rests with their boards and senior managements.
