Bord 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 the bank debt has been reduced by circa €2.0m between 2015 and 2016 and that they have recently entered negotiations with Allied Irish Bank to restructure the remaining loan facility.
