Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

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

3:00 pm

Dr. Colm Gaynor:

A situation developed whereby dogs were registered which should not have been registered. I do not propose to comment now on who was responsible for that. There are an unknown number of dogs involved and there are people who have legitimate expectations with good dogs to race. The Bill will enable us to put that behind us. We will be pleased to see that happen.
