The Indecon report which was published in July 2014 contained 27 recommendations, including a recommendation that a plan for asset disposals should be implemented. The Indecon report included Harolds Cross greyhound racing facility in the list of potential asset disposals.

The report also stated that the timing of these asset sales should be made in a manner which maximises the value for Bord na gCon and should take account of planning/zoning issues and market developments.

In response to the Indecon report, Bord na gCon submitted an action plan with timelines for implementing the 27 recommendations in the Indecon report, including those dealing with disposal of assets. This action plan is published on the Bord na gCon website.
