Bord na gCon (BNG), a commercial state body, was established under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958 to control greyhound racing and to improve and develop the greyhound industry. It is responsible for the control, promotion and operation, including the regulation, of greyhound racing.

Bord na gCon operates under the aegis of my Department. Department officials are in almost daily contact with Bord na gCon as they are with the other 11 state bodies under the aegis of my Department. The deputy's request is extremely broad in scope. My officials would be happy to forward the Deputy details of communications with Bord na gCon, but given the scope of the information sought it would be helpful if the deputy could indicate any specific areas of interest.
