‘No tender process’ for Harold’s Cross greyhound stadium

The multi-million euro sale of the iconic Harold’s Cross greyhound racing stadium took place this week without any tendering process and without any attempt to seek bids on the open market.

Management of the Irish Greyhound Board (IGB) admitted the situation during a lengthy Dáil meeting over the repeated failures by the board to ensure financial stability, due to a damaging €20m national debt.

Chief executive Sean Brady told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) the semi-state body is doing everything it can to reduce crippling debts and increase investment in the organisation.
