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.

It is...

I presume the Government will support them 100% until it...

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...
