Mick Wallace: 37. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to outline the recent discussions he has had with Bord na gCon regarding the publication of the Morris report into greyhound racing; if the report has been finalised yet; if the report will be published in full; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21330/16]

Other Questions: Bord na gCon (13 Jul 2016)

Mick Wallace: I wrote to the Minister recently asking why the Morris report has not been published. Clearly, those in Bord na gCon are failing the greyhound industry with their incompetence. They seem to have no regard for the integrity of the sport. The Government seems to support them no matter what and no matter how incompetent they are. I presume the Government will support them 100% until it...

Other Questions: Bord na gCon (13 Jul 2016)

Mick Wallace: That is true.

Other Questions: Bord na gCon (13 Jul 2016)

Mick Wallace: The Minister of State thinks it is okay for Bord na gCon to have a report for 12 months and not publish it. I find that really interesting. That is an interesting position for the Minister of State to take. Numerous people who own and train greyhounds in Ireland have contacted me in respect of drugs and greyhounds. They are disheartened that no proper procedure is in place. I cannot...

Other Questions: Bord na gCon (13 Jul 2016)

Mick Wallace: I will give him the benefit of the doubt; he has only just arrived on the scene. I have not shot him yet.

Other Questions: Bord na gCon (13 Jul 2016)

Mick Wallace: I am taken aback that the Government has for a long time been so tolerant of an incompetent Bord na gCon. When someone presented the greyhound, Loughlea Pretty, for a sales trial at Thurles greyhound stadium on 23 June 2015 with the prohibited substance flunixin, the only outcome was that the nature of the substance, flunixin, was noted and a minimum fine of €100 was applied. It is...

Nice Attacks: Expressions of Sympathy (19 Jul 2016)

Mick Wallace: On behalf of Independents 4 Change, I extend our sympathies to the families and friends of all who lost loved ones and those who were injured. It is an unthinkable act on the part of a madman. It hardly bears thinking about. One would be better off not seeing what happened. I find it sad that just before this madman struck there was an aerial display of French fighter planes. All of...

Housing Strategy: Statements (19 Jul 2016)

Mick Wallace: I am sorry I do not have more time. The Minister will not be shocked when I say I would have liked to see a lot more in the report, but I will not shoot him, rather I will give him the benefit of the doubt and I am hopeful he will deliver a lot more in time. Rome was not built in a day, but it was started. I accept that it is a start and will not dismiss it out of hand. I will address...
