Greyhound industry amendment Bill

Summary

Ray Butler seeks publication of the Greyhound Industry (Amendment) Bill, citing an Irish-backed plan for Wimbledon Stadium; the Taoiseach says no publication date has been set.

When is publication expected of the greyhound industry (amendment) Bill to amend and extend the Greyhound Industry Act 1958 and the Greyhound Industry (Amendment) Act 1993 and related matters? An Irish group has submitted a plan to bring Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium in London up to a world standard.

That is good, we are all pleased about that.

We would like to back this venture as the Irish taxpayer owns Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium.

That dog has been whistled back a few times in the past. He is still running, so we will have to see what priority has been accorded to it by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. No date has been listed for it.
