As a member of the public I can go online and I can find out exactly how many pups were born in Britain, the date they were born and the breakdown of the litter in terms of males and females. That is all publicly available information. It allows for the tracking of the numbers of dogs being bred. Would the Minister not agree that the Irish public are entitled to the same amount of information, particularly given the levels of funding that goes in to greyhound racing in Ireland?
