When trying to defend the indefensible is no longer an option, you should probably stay quiet. Not a philosophy adhered to by those involved in the lrish greyhound racing industry, it would seem.

GRI CEO Time Lucey says he doesn't know how or why 1000s of young dogs are dying every year. And he said at today's PAC meeting that he doesn't want to know. The rest of us know though, don't we. It's because they can't run fast enough. Duh, Mr Lucey!

If there was any doubt before today that lrish greyhound racing's days are numbered, then what transpired at the PAC this morning will surely dispel those doubts. Time now to start planning its wind-down. @martinheydonfg

The performance by @martinheydonfg at the Ag Ctee this afternoon can leave no one in any doubt that the clock is ticking for greyhound racing. Scripted spin & drivel was all the good Minister had to offer. No attempt to answer the hard questions. Tick tock, tick tock....⏰️
It's not difficult to understsnd why neither GRI nor the Dept of Ag want an independent cost-benefit analysis of the lrish greyhound racing industry to be carried out. What emperor wants to be told he's stark naked? #ThisRunsDeep #BanGreyhoundRacing

Politics 101: How the Old Boys' Network operates in lrish politics - and ensures that €20 MILLION of taxpayers' money is handed over every year to the dog-killing, economic basketcase that is the lrish greyhound racing industry. Note: Fine Gael and Fianna Fail are exchangeable!
The lrish greyhound racing industry is an economic basketcase, dependent entirely on taxpayers' money. Political cronyism ensures that the status quo remains unchallenged. It is a perfect example of stroke politics. #ThisRunsDeep

€407.2 MILLION in state handouts since 2001 to the industry that overbreeds, kills and injures thousands of dogs every year. Meanwhile, nine counties in the Republic of lreland do not have a domestic violence refuge. Only in lreland would this be tolerated! @MichealMartinTD

The close connection between FF and FG is unhealthy for both the tax payer and the welfare of Greyhounds.

Sinn Fein Senator Chris Andrews highlighting the political cronyism that underpins the public funding of greyhound racing. Let's hope @sinnfeinireland take note. This is a shameful waste of taxpayers' money used to prop up a hugely abusive industry. @MaryLouMcDonald @mattcarthy
Sinn Fein Senator, Chris Andrews has condemned the greyhound industry as “inhumane and unpopular” and said that, given the annual killing of thousands of dogs, the government’s latest allocation of €20.4 million to Greyhound Racing Ireland is unacceptable facebook.com/share/v/18wRrBg…
The government gave the greyhound board an extra €580,000 in Budget 2027 to improve 'integrity and welfare', but the greyhound board don't know what they're supposed to do with it. This would be laughable if 1000s of dogs weren't being killed every year by this rotton industry!

"Surgical artificial insemination is rampant in the greyhound industry [in Ireland]. It's banned in Britain. Surgical AI carries risk and is highly invasive" - then Senator, and now MEP, Lynn Boylan (SF) youtube.com/watch?v=ZzBPPIUY… @martinheydonfg @FineGael Ban surgical insemination

4,191 greyhounds injured, 1,682 killed on tracks in Ireland since 2014 • Shelbourne Park is one of the worst tracks in the country for dogs dying & getting injured • Last year, greyhound tracks around the country were 79% to 92% empty rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/9f… #BanGreyhoundRacing

At Thurles track on 28 March 2026, 2 greyhounds were killed by a vet after suffering fractured leg / suspected fractured pelvis. Were they 3-year-old Kingfisher and Rathfalla Kim (both "did not finish" races there that day)? Don't go greyhound racing. #Ireland #BanGreyhoundRacing

Greyhound Racing Ireland is HIDING video footage of Races 5, 6 and 7 at Mullingar track on Saturday (26 September 2026) during which 4 greyhounds suffered falls. Don't go greyhound racing. #Ireland #BanGreyhoundRacing

There is cross-party support for a ban on surgical artificial insemination of greyhounds. So why is the Minister for Agriculture @martinheydonfg not acting to bring this obscene practice to an end facebook.com/reel/1800120671…
