‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Greyhound Industry Bill
Summary
Deputy Deering asked when the promised Greyhound Industry (Amendment) Bill would be introduced after earlier scrutiny and delay. The Tánaiste replied that it would be published the following Tuesday.
On promised legislation, I refer to the Greyhound Industry (Amendment) Bill. The greyhound industry has been through a difficult spell in recent times. It employs over 10,000 people. As such, it is a very important industry for Ireland and we are aware of its future importance. Pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill took place last May and June and it was intended to introduce it before the summer recess. That did not happen and the Bill is not listed on the Order Paper. Will the Tánaiste indicate when it may be introduced?
