Taggart again defies O’Donoghue to discuss sacking

BELEAGUERED Bord na gCon chairman Paschal Taggart last night again went against the publicly declared request by Sports Minister John O’Donoghue to refrain from public statements about the sacking of Bord na gCon chairman Aidan Tynan.

He used a media launch for a “world class” greyhound stadium for Limerick to defend his sacking of former chief executive.

Mr Taggart told a press conference attended by more than 150 people - mostly greyhound followers at the Castletroy Park Hotel - that it was a red letter day for the industry in Limerick.
