Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 May 2026
465. Deputy Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to commission an independent piece of research into the economic value created by the greyhound industry, considering the last report was conducted over five years ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40920/26]
View answerIn July 2021, Jim Power Economics produced a report on The Economic & Financial Significance of the Irish Greyhound Industry which was commissioned by Rásaíocht Con Éireann (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. I currently have no plans to commission an independent piece of research into the economic value created by the greyhound industry.
