A Co Cork greyhound track, which was bailed out earlier this year, is attracting an average attendance of just three members of the public at its twice-weekly meets.

Youghal Greyhound Track drew just 92 attendees over 31 meets during the first four months of 2023, when trainers and bookmakers were excluded, figures released by the sport’s governing body show.
