Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2015
387. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he is aware of all of the circumstances which led to the departure of the internal auditor from the Irish Greyhound Board; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28770/15]
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.
