The last question then is about the strategy. In its business plan and strategy, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain has stated that it wants to reduce reliance on Irish-bred dogs. Is this a cause for concern given that 85% of the dogs that are currently racing in British racetracks are Irish bred? The Preferred Results report from 2017 spoke about the fact that Irish greyhound racing is predominantly based on breeding as opposed to racing and that this was a financial risk for the organisation. Is there anything in Greyhound Racing Ireland's strategic plan now to move away from that overbreeding if they are going to lose the market in Britain to buy those dogs?
