General Scheme of the Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Ms Aideen Yourell:

For coursing dogs, positive results are not published online. They are published randomly now and then in the coursing club's newspaper, the Sporting Press. The paper only comes out once a week and is not widely distributed. It is only bought by greyhound people. Notwithstanding that we think hare coursing should be banned, the Irish Coursing Club should be required to publish results online as the Irish Greyhound Board does.
