Greyhound industry to be reviewed

A strategic review of the greyhound industry has been announced in the face of demands for an inquiry into how it is being run.

Tom Hayes TD, junior minister with responsibility for the industry, said that after meeting with the Irish Greyhound Board recently and discussing its plans, he has asked for a terms of reference to be drawn up.

The announcement came after the Department of Agriculture was put under pressure by one of the company’s directors and Fianna Fáil to examine the industry.
