An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2026-07-08

Chris Andrews (SF), Labour Panel

I missed Senator Kennelly's comments, as I was a bit late getting up, but I believe that the Senator has asked me to withdraw or retract a statement I made. Yesterday, I made the statement that the greyhound industry "has a shocking dog welfare record. It is absolutely shocking and there is no transparency or accountability." Hell will freeze over before I will retract that because there is any amount of evidence. There is no transparency. There is no accountability.
