Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2022
755. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide a breakdown by status, for example, racing, injured, exported, deceased and so on, of the 23,760 non-coursing greyhounds subject to traceability on the Rásaíocht Con Éireann traceability system in each month from January to December 2021. [58711/22]
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.
