The support provided by public funds through investment in these industries has enabled Ireland to develop a world class reputation for excellence in horse racing, greyhound racing and breeding. The horse and greyhound racing industries receive financial support from the State through the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund under section 12 of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Act 2001. I will touch on the greyhound racing industry.
I support all these sports such as horse and greyhound racing but I want to ensure that everything is done to support animal welfare. I welcome the Minister to the House and I fully support the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund. I have seen first-hand the people who are involved in both the greyhound industry and the horse racing industry and the care and love for the animals that are entrusted to their care.
