Over 650 concerned public members attend greyhound meeting last night

There was a huge attendance in Enniscorthy last night at a meeting to discuss the proposed closure of Enniscorthy Greyhound Track

The matter is set to become a general election issue in County Wexford. It's believed over 650 people involved in the dog racing industry and beyond attended last night to voice their concerns over the closure. A number of general election candidates were also present at the gathering. The government has reaffirmed their commitment to the greyhound industry which receives €16 million in funding every year. The Irish Greyhound Board have come under pressure to act as Enniscorthy remains a profit making track with many employees involved in the day to day running.
