Danny Healy-Rae: ...these industries return these funds back to the coffers in abundance. It has been said horse racing accounts for some 29,000 jobs, while the doggy people provide 12,000 and are working very hard with their dogs. They treat them very well. It was sad the industry got a bit of a bad name for a while because of a few rogues, but 99% of these people are genuine. They live for their dogs...

Michael Healy-Rae: ...other Deputies standing up and talking about cruelty in this sector. Of course, there are people who may not be right at any sector of life, but the vast majority of people who have greyhounds and dogs adore them, and if it is horses, they adore them.

Greyhounds are exported to places with few, if any, animal welfare standards and there are horrific stories of...

Mick Barry: .... Both Deputies have voiced their support for animal welfare but ignore the fact that animal cruelty is at the heart of the greyhound industry in this country. If the average age of a racing dog is two and a half to three years, what happens when the dog is too old? What happens if it is injured or if it is too slow? "RTÉ Investigates" answered those questions in its programme....

Jennifer Whitmore: ...with the €1.5 million allocated in the budget for animal welfare organisations, which is double what it used to be. That is less than 10% of the amount the greyhound industry gets. In 2019, the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind received €886,000 from the State. The organisation had to raise €5 million itself. Can anyone say that the public money would not have been...
