Public Accounts Committee: Greyhound Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2021 (10 Nov 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Chair. I welcome our guests and thank them for their submission and accompanying documents. I want to get a sense of how the financial numbers stack up against the dog numbers. We have touched on it a bit and I thank Deputy O'Connor for introducing the Jim Power report because it is a good place to start. How many racing dogs do we have in Ireland?

Neasa Hourigan: I thank Mr. Conroy. Returning to the figures given in that report, Greyhound Racing Ireland gives figures for the outlay of a trainer who is taking on a dog. The mount involved is just under €6,000. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Greyhound Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2021 (10 Nov 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: Greyhound Racing Ireland's traceability schemes do not include coursing dogs, however. Is that right?

Public Accounts Committee: Greyhound Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2021 (10 Nov 2022)

Public Accounts Committee: Greyhound Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2021 (10 Nov 2022)
