The greyhound board is to sign off on its strategic plan for bringing the industry forward and it has just had a new CEO appointed there in the past couple of weeks. He was a former CEO of Cork County Council, Tim Lucey, who is a man of great background, experience and capacity. My Department has been engaging with Rásaíocht Con Éireann on finalising that strategic plan. This will be a statutory matter for the board to fully consider how to bring this sector forward and to fully consider also the sustainable future of the tracks under the remit through which they are funded. We will be engaging further with Rásaíocht Con Éireann on its strategic plan.
