Bord na gCon is a statutory body responsible for the regulation of greyhound racing under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958. It has specific powers conferred on it by the Greyhound Industry (Racing) Regulations 2007, S.I. 302 2007, which set out the detailed rules under which greyhound racing is conducted.

Bord na gCon has informed me that all their private stadia are working within agreed terms and conditions associated with any funds that are due to Bord na gCon. Bord na gCon continue to support and work with all private stadia.
