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 has informed me that there were two separate mediation talks held and arrangements were in place to hold a third one however this was subsequently called off. A resolution of the differences between the parties has not been found to date.
