Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
2086. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will request Greyhound Racing Ireland to investigate the reason that an Irish greyhound (details supplied) appears to be currently racing in Punjab, India given that the animal is still listed on the organisation’s website as being still registered to a syndicate in County Wicklow. [40379/22]
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.
