Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
696. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views on a matter (details supplied) regarding the Irish greyhounds board tote; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22152/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraBord na gCon has informed me that it will be reporting a 6.5% increase in Tote operating profits for the six months to 30 June 2016 when compared to the first six months in 2015.
I understand from Bord na gCon that this improved profitability is as a result of Bord na gCon securing a number of contracts during the latter part of 2015. These contracts have broadened the Tote customer base to a wider international wagering audience.
