A former board member of the agency with responsibility for greyhound racing in Ireland has called for statutory investigations into alleged issues regarding corporate governance at the body.

Pat Creed, a five-year board member of Greyhound Racing Ireland (also known as Rasaiocht Con Éireann, RCE), has written to both the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), the State’s accountant, and the chair of the Public Accounts Committee calling for an investigation into those issues, one of which relates to a dispute between Clonmel Greyhound Stadium and RCE over a sum of roughly €500,000.
