Greyhound Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2021

9:30 am

Mr. Pat Herbert:

I can give the Deputy the exact figure from the traceability system from its first year of operation, 2021. The data set includes greyhounds that raced, trialled and were microchipped from 2021 on. Some 23,760 greyhounds were subject to traceability in 2021. Of those, 18,538 were active, in other words, raced or trialled, and 5,222 were inactive.
