THE GREYHOUND RACING industry has been put in the spotlight again this week, the Social Democrats put forward a motion proposing to end State funding of the sector.
Writing for TheJournal.ie this week, TD Holly Cairns explained that greyhound racing in Ireland will receive €19.2m in public funding next year – an increase of €2.4m on 2020.
Last year, an RTÉ investigation claimed that almost 6,000 greyhounds were killed for not racing fast enough in 2017.
