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 that Shelbourne Park Stadium remains open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for greyhound racing. The current wave of protests has prevented entries for racing, therefore inhibiting the opportunity for customers to enjoy the live racing content.
