The Irish Coursing Club, ICC, is the competent authority with regard to the maintenance of the Irish Greyhound Stud Book. The objects of the ICC are set out in the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958, and among these objects is, "the promotion of the breeding of thoroughbred greyhounds (including maintenance of the Irish Greyhound Stud Book)".
The ICC has been responsible for the Irish Greyhound Stud Book since 1923, and this was further reinforced by the enactment of the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958.
I have no plans at present to alter this arrangement.
