Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2023
686. Deputy Mick Barry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the details of the greyhound track attendance figures for 2022 by date and track and a breakdown of the figures into, including, paid entry, free entry and entry by adults, children, owners/trainers, bookmakers, press, and so on; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9544/23]
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.
