Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2022
908. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of racing greyhounds exported to the United Kingdom for each of the years 2010 to date in 2022; the number of racing greyhounds exported to the UK that were registered on the race management system in Ireland; and the value in euros of these exports. [36146/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraRásaíocht Con Éireann (RCÉ) is a commercial state body, established under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958 chiefly to control greyhound racing and to improve and develop the greyhound industry. RCÉ is a body corporate and a separate legal entity to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
The question raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for RCÉ and, therefore, the question has been referred to the body for direct reply.
