Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2022
1917. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to produce a report on the profitability or commercial viability of all greyhound tracks in Ireland; the research and analysis on which it will be based; if it will be made public; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20698/22]
View answerRásaíocht Con Éireann (RCÉ) is a commercial state body, established under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958 chiefly to control greyhound racing and to improve and develop the greyhound industry. RCÉ is a body corporate and a separate legal entity to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
The question raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for RCÉ and, therefore, the question has been referred to the body for direct reply.
