Issues Concerning Greyhound Industry: Bord na gCon
Mr. Gerard Dollard:
There will be no additional stewards. We currently have two stipendiary stewards and 12 control stewards. In total, 21 people are designated under the Welfare of Greyhounds Act. As the chairman, Mr. Nyhan, stated, we are recruiting a director of care and welfare. Earlier this year, we recruited a welfare officer. A significant resource is available, therefore, to focus on care and welfare.
