Greyhound board auditors take sick leave after race-fixing report

The two principal internal investigators at the Irish Greyhound Board have taken extended work-related sick leave as the company delays the publication of their recent report into a race-fixing scam.

The Irish Greyhound Board’s head of compliance and its internal auditor had worked together to investigate the company’s response to three recent scandals.

Their latest report into a meticulous rigging scam in Dundalk was adopted by the board in February, before it was published by the Irish Examiner. However, that report has not been released and the company has said it is being re-examined by legal advisors.
