O’Sullivan looks back with pride

WITH Dick O’Sullivan stepping down today, there is still no news from the Department of Agriculture as to who will follow the genial Kerryman as chairman of the Irish Greyhound Board. However, it will be a major surprise if the appointment is not made prior to the likely change of Government.

O’Sullivan admits to having mixed feelings as he retires, as promised, after five years at the helm.

“There’s no point in denying it, I will miss the IGB job but at the same time I will be quite relieved as it has been a hectic five years mixing the two roles.” (Dick is also general manager of Punchestown racecourse).
