Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2023
308. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of greyhounds exported, rehomed, retained as pets and that died in 2021, 2022 and to date in 2023, as recorded on Greyhound Racing Ireland's RCÉTS traceability system. [20263/23]
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.
