‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Agricultural Produce Development. Tote involvement at race tracks
Summary
The Minister corrected reports that he proposed banning bookmakers, saying he had called for closer examination of greater tote involvement.
No, I would not like to argue. Would the Minister clarify the announcement he made about banning bookies from race tracks in this country as a result of his visit to America, say whether he has any plans to go ahead, and how does he see it affecting the Irish greyhound racing industry?
Comment on this
The Deputy should get his facts right. I said that the matter of greater tote involvement should be examined closely. If the Deputy wants a correct report on what I said I think the Greyhound Express carries an accurate one. Some other reports were anything but accurate.
