The lease holders of Youghal greyhound track say efforts to secure the facility’s future have been boosted by a “very positive and sympathetic” meeting with Tánaiste Micheál Martin.

Mr Martin met the Youghal Greyhound Track Supporters chairman Páidí Walsh and fellow member Bertie Lupton during a visit to schools in the town.
