Bord na gCon is a commercial State body, established under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958, charged with the regulation and development of the greyhound racing industry.

The matter referred to by the Deputy is an operational matter for Bord na gCon.

In line with new Dáil procedures, this information can be requested directly from Bord na gCon using the dedicated email address: oireachtasqueries@igb.ie. The Deputy’s question has already been passed on by my Department via this mechanism.  Bord na gCon will revert directly.
