- Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Ar an gcéad dul síos, I declare an interest because I was reared on a family farm with cattle, dogs and sheepdogs. The Ceann Comhairle knows this. I still have sheepdogs. My son is farming the mountain sheep. It would be impossible without sheepdogs. I would like to put a question to Deputy Bríd Smith. Although she is not here now, I am sure it will be carried back to...

This sector is receiving large amounts of money, in the millions of euro, without rigorous animal welfare criteria being satisfied or any conditions relating to workers' rights in the sector being attached to the funding. Is it an oversight issue, considering there have been numerous reports of serious animal welfare concerns? This has been notable in the last...

I added it up and, over the time I have been in the Dáil, the Dáil has voted time after time, all in all, to give almost €1 billion to the horse and greyhound racing...
- Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)
