Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2024
565. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if Greyhound Racing Ireland, GRI, previously Bord na gCon, has ever provided funding to the current or previous owners of Lifford Greyhound Stadium; if so, the amount; when this money was provided; the amount that has been paid back to GRI-Bord na gCon; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29143/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraRásaíocht 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.
