Bord na gCon was established as a statutory body under the Greyhound Industry Act 1958. Under the provisions of that Act, responsibility for the day-to-day administration of the organisation, including staffing issues, lies with Bord na gCon and my Department has no role in such matters. Accordingly, the information sought by the Deputy is not available to the Department and he should, therefore, address his request directly to Bord na gCon.
