Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
1302. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the names of external companies that provide hospitality staff and security staff at Shelbourne Park greyhound track; the amount that Rásaíocht Con Éireann have paid those companies for such staff in the years of 2022 and to-date in 2023; and when the current contract that provides for these staff is next due to expire. [38304/23]
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.
