Amharc ar fhreagra882. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the way in which an Irish non-coursing greyhound (details supplied) is recorded in Rásaíocht Con Éireann Traceability System; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29996/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 881 and 882 together.
Rásaíocht 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 questions raised by the Deputy are operational matters for RCÉ and, therefore, the questions have been referred to that body for direct reply.
