Bord na gCon is a commercial State body, established in 1958, under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958, chiefly to control greyhound racing and to improve and develop the greyhound industry.

Bord na gCon has informed me that it is in the process of finalising its 2015 Annual Report with the C & AG and I understand that this report will be forwarded to my Department shortly.

The 2016 annual report will be published in 2017 in the normal way.
