Publisher defends portrayal of greyhound racing in Junior Cycle book

The CSPE book, 'Make A Difference', includes a piece called ‘Going to the Dogs’ which lists a series of what it describes as problems with greyhound racing, and invites students to think up a possible solution in response.

“Measured and considered language” was used to describe greyhound racing in a civil, social and political education (CSPE) book for Junior Cycle students, according to its publisher.

Representatives of the greyhound sector have sought the removal of a text they describe as a "misleading and inaccurate" representation of greyhound racing.
