Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 March 2025
347. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views in relation to the record number of greyhounds euthanised at races in the last year; the steps it is intended to take, or that have been taken, to deal with this significant problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14782/25]
View answerRásaíocht 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.
