Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
1122. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide information from the Rásaíocht Con Éireann Traceability System on the number of non-coursing dogs entered on the RCETS for each of the years 2021 and 2022; the breakdown of the 35,701 greyhounds entered on RCETS by year of birth, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17366/23]
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.
