Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 May 2023
180. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide a breakdown, by year of birth, of the 5,312 non-coursing greyhounds recorded as "exported" in 2022 on the Rásaíocht Con Éireann traceability system. [25292/23]
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.
