Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

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

4:00 pm

Ms Eilis McCann:

The red flag proposal was put forward at our most recent meeting. The proposal is that a red flag would appear beside a trainer's name when a greyhound tests positive for cocaine, stanozolol or any other banned substance and that it would remain there until such time as the greyhound tests negative. That is my understanding of it.
