Greyhound board told to deal with concerns

Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has said he is aware of concerns about the operation of the Irish Greyhound Board but that these are for the company itself to resolve.

Mr Coveney informed the Dáil that issues of corporate governance were raised with his department along with controversies surrounding the IGB’s enforcement of the regulations governing the industry.

These followed a series of reports in the Irish Examiner about the company and its construction of a new greyhound track in Limerick.
