Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Andrew Doyle – who has special responsibility for the greyhound sector – expressed his deep concern at the revelations in Prime Time. In a statement to TheJournal.ie, the IGB said that it “strongly condemned” the practices outlined in Prime Time, “which highlighted the actions of a minority within the industry”.
“When the Greyhound Racing Act is in full effect, it will add to existing legislation and ensure that the racing greyhound is the most regulated of all canine breeds in Ireland. The IGB is fully supportive of these measures.”
I suspect ' strongly condemning' the knuckle dragging gombeens we witnessed last night will have any influence on their barbaric practices.
We all know it’s not acts of minority.....
