Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2015
109. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the former internal auditor of the Irish Greyhound Board was made redundant in 2013; if he will provide details of the circumstances and arrangements surrounding the redundancy; if he will confirm that his redundancy was in line with Government guidelines; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18750/15]
View answerBord 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 is a body corporate and a separate legal entity to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Accordingly, the matter raised by the Deputy is the responsibility of Bord na gCon. It is an operational matter between Bord na gCon and the individual concerned and it would not be appropriate for me to comment on it.
