Amharc ar fhreagraBord na gCon is a commercial State body, established in 1958, under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958, chiefly to control greyhound racing and to improve and develop the greyhound industry.
Bord na gCon has informed me that bank loans relating to the Limerick Stadium were agreed with Allied Irish Bank on June 24th 2009. These facilities involved granting security to Allied Irish Bank over assets held at Waterford, Limerick and Shelbourne Park in Dublin.
