Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of greyhounds injured, destroyed and killed at races, trials and sales auctions in 2022; the names of the greyhounds; the nature of each injury, destruction and fatality; the results of any post mortem and the associated dates and track locations. [4006/23]
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.
