Rásaíocht Con Éireann (RCÉ) 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.  RCÉ is a body corporate and a separate legal entity to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

I last spoke with the CEO of RCÉ on 7th October 2020. I am due to speak to the CEO and Chairman shortly.

My officials are in regular contact with officials from Rásaíocht Con Éireann.
