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

The 2015 accounts for Bord na gCon includes a list of the numbers of employees receiving employee benefits, including salaries and pensions, above €60,000 per annum, and as required by Department of Public Expenditure and Reform Circular 13/2014.

The benefit categories are classified upwards from €60,000 in increments of €10,000, with the number of employees in each category shown. The 2015 accounts have been noted by Government and I expect them to be published in the coming days.
