In July 2021, Jim Power Economics produced a report on The Economic & Financial Significance of the Irish Greyhound Industry which was commissioned by RCÉ. This report follows earlier similar reports produced by Jim Power for RCÉ in 2010 and 2017.

I am not aware of any related updated analysis currently being conducted by RCÉ.
