The Irish Coursing Club (ICC) is the organisation charged with the role of Keeper of the Irish Greyhound Stud Book (IGSB) since 1923. The Stud Book records pedigrees, ownerships, breeding data and transfers of ownership primarily of all greyhounds. The
ICC is subject to the general control and direction of Rásaíocht Con Éireann.
The ICC has provided my Department with the following data for the years 2020 and 2021, however as surgical implants are not recorded separately on its system it was by a manual check through all its mating certs that the number of surgical implants was ascertained. It was not possible in the time allowed to provide the data for 2019 but the ICC has assured my Department that it will provide the data within the next week. Officials from this Department will forward the additional information directly to the Deputy.
