Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) said it is “fully satisfied” that its traceability welfare system for racing dogs is accurate despite thousands of more animals being accounted for on it compared with its own race cards.

The administrative body for greyhound racing in Ireland said that its traceability system, RCETS, and its own race management system “are separate operating software systems and perform entirely different functions”.
