Greyhound racing 'at a loss' as horse industry gets green light

While there was good news for the horse racing industry with the news that racing will resume June 8, the same could not be said for greyhound racing as, for now at least, the date for resumption remains June 29.

The Irish Greyhound Board’s chairman, Frank Nyhan, has admitted that the board is “at a loss” to understand why greyhound racing is “not assessed as being capable of operating behind closed doors from June 8”. They will seek clarity from the Department of Agriculture.
