Group hope to develop new greyhound industry strategy

Last Wednesday night, September 14, a meeting of concerned members of the greyhound community took place at the Horse and Jockey Hotel, the upshot from which is the formation of a committee to tackle the issues, as raised by the assembled crowd, reportedly a mix of owners, trainers and breeders numbering close to 100.

The meeting was chaired by Paschal Taggart, who gave a presentation highlighting current problems, many of which could be shown by comparison of most recent figures with those in the industry just a few years ago.

One of the key purposes of the committee will be to develop and implement a three-year strategic plan for the industry.
