The Irish Coursing Club (ICC) is the organisation charged with the role of Keeper of the Irish Greyhound Stud Book (IGSB) since 1923. The Stud Book records pedigrees, ownerships, breeding data and transfers of ownership of all greyhounds. The ICC is subject to the general control and direction of Rásaíocht Con Éireann.
The ICC has informed my Department that the information outlined below in tabular form has been compiled following a manual search through paper mating certs as its computerised system only allowed for Frozen Semen Insemination or Artificial Insemination. Accordingly, the ICC has informed my Department that it was not possible to distinguish between Surgical or Transcervical Insemination.
The ICC has also informed my Department that, as it no longer has the actual paper copies of mating certs prior to 2024, it is unable to identify the deceased dogs and as such cannot give date of death for the years 2019 to 2023.
