Breakingnews.ie reports:

“The Public Accounts Committee is today focusing on mismanagement of public money in relation to the purchase of lands for Limerick Greyhound Stadium. A meeting this morning will also look at the knock-on effect of cost overruns on the financial position of Bord na gCon, the commerical state body responsible for the promotion and regulation of the greyhound industry in Ireland. A report by the Comptroller and Auditor General has raised a number of concerns in relation to the Limerick Greyhound Stadium project, which is costing €21m.”

    “the commerical state body responsible for the promotion and regulation of the greyhound industry in Ireland.”

    I for one am delighted such an important body survived the last seven years of austerity.

    The current ceann comhairle liked the nags and dags so much so he lobbied for them during the finance bill when he was in opposition

    Fupp Bord na gCon and the greyhound racing business. There isn’t a single other state sponsored industry with more pointless cruelty than that one.

    Their ‘regulation’ is a joke. the only regulation they do is when they are forced to do so by welfare groups rather than put the money in their pocket. Anyone who has ever had to deal with greyhound welfare or rescue in this country can attest to that.
