SF criticises greyhound board over stadium debacle

Sinn Féin has criticised the Irish Greyhound Board for the way it handled the construction of the new stadium in Limerick.

The stadium was opened in 2010 but the costs associated with it have heaped debt on the organisation and prompted an admission to the Department of Agriculture that the company is under serious financial pressure.

Sinn Féin’s agriculture spokesman, Michael Colreavy, said the extent of construction deals covered under unwritten agreements was unacceptable.
