That is not a big issue but it tells me that Mr. Meaney, chairman of Bord na gCon, gave evidence on 4 May that, under the Act, board members were not allowed to own greyhounds and he believed that. He did not know whether or not board members were allowed to own dogs because he did not know the Act. That is obvious because what he said is not accurate, as he has now admitted. The chairman of Bord na gCon did not know whether board members were allowed own dogs or not.
