Greyhound owners have been coming to me for over four years telling me about incompetence, skullduggery and wastage of taxpayers' money that was going on in the Irish Greyhound Board, IGB. The board member, Mr. Brendan Moore, wrote to the then Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney, and warned him about all of this in the past, but nothing has happened. The Minister said there was satisfaction with the way in which the IGB was operating, but now we see the company is bankrupt and has to sell assets. On behalf of all the genuine greyhound owners and people who go to tracks, this is a disgrace. What will the Minister and the Government do about it?
