Greyhound sector 'abhorred' by depiction in Junior Cycle book

Representatives of Greyhound Racing Ireland and the Irish Greyhound Owners and Breeders Federation have called for the material to be removed. 

Representatives of the greyhound sector have sought the removal of a text from a Junior Cycle civic, social, and political education (CSPE) book they describe as a "misleading and inaccurate" representation of greyhound racing here. 

Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) and the Irish Greyhound Owners and Breeders Federation (IGOBF) have written to Folens, the Department of Education, and the Department of Agriculture seeking the removal of a class exercise about greyhound racing.
