Jimmy Barry Murphy: ‘Tough couple of years for the greyhound industry.’

Legendary sportsman Jimmy Barry Murphy has spoken out about what he termed the “quite disgraceful tactic of intimidation” employed, over the past couple of years, against people in the greyhound industry by those who wish to have the sport banned.

Contributing to the Irish Greyhound Owners’ and Breeders’ Federation’s new series of videos which have been produced to promote the sport, Barry Murphy accepted the right to protest but admitted to feeling “very strongly” about the manner in which a recent campaign against the sport has been run, and he asked for even those politicians who are opposed to the sport to denounce such tactics.
