Alleged Issue of Abuse of Greyhounds: Bord na gCon

Mr. Denis Healy:

There can be a bit of both. I can find out for the Deputy but, obviously, if there is intelligence that has prompted an inspection, owners are never pre-warned. A large number of inspections are unannounced. Greyhound trainers are not very happy with that but they have got used to it. That is the standard to which we operate.
