Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2017
404. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of greyhounds that coursed in the 2015-16 season; the number of those greyhounds that coursed in the 2016-17 season; and the number of greyhounds that were identified to the club as being deceased in 2016, in tabular form. [53094/17]
View answerUnder the provisions of the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958, the regulation of coursing is chiefly a matter for the Irish Coursing Club (ICC) subject to the general control of Bord na gCon.
I have been advised by the ICC that the information requested by the Deputy cannot be provided in the short time available and will therefore be forwarded to the Deputy directly in the coming days.
