Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2023
687. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of the 4,150 jobs given for industry-supported full-time and part-time jobs (details supplied) that consist of jobs in the greyhound racing industry only; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9631/23]
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 report referred to was commissioned by the RCE and therefore the question raised by the Deputy is a matter for RCÉ and the question has been referred to the body for direct reply.
