Lunchtime Live

About

An Oireachtas budget office report has highlighted the financial struggles of greyhound racing.

The industry has been given over €20 million of taxpayer money in the 2027 budget, yet the report has asked whether state intervention is “simply arresting its inevitable collapse”.

So, is this a waste of taxpayer money, and moreover, is greyhound racing cruel?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Nuala Donlon from Greyhound Action Ireland, Damien Matthews, Chairperson of the Greyhound Owners & Breeders Federation and listeners.
