Section 19 (2) of the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958 provides that the Board shall, within ninety days after the end of each accounting period or such longer time as the Minister shall in any particular case allow, furnish to the Minister an abstract of the accounts of the Board for that accounting period and a report of its proceedings during that accounting period. While compliance with the provisions of the Act is a matter for the statutory Board of Bord na gCon, nevertheless, I have asked my Department to remind Bord na gCon of their statutory responsibilities.
