Motion No. 1 in the name of Councillor Noeleen Reilly and seconded by Councillor

Ciaran Perry “that Dublin City Council calls on the Government to immediately remove funding of €16.8m to the Greyhound Industry and calls for a complete ban on racing.  6,000 Dogs are killed inhumanly every year in Ireland as well as many more who suffer horrific abuse. In no way should this practice be tolerated and certainly not at the expense of tax payers.”

An amendment to Cllr. Reilly’s motion (see Appendix B for details) was submitted by Councillors Daniel Céitinn, Daithí Doolan and Janice Boylan. The amendment was put to a vote and was defeated. Full details of the vote can be viewed in Appendix C to these minutes.

Councillor Noeleen Reilly’s motion as submitted was put and carried.

Councillors Nial Ring, Anthony Connaghan and Naoise Ó Muirí opposed the motion and Cllr. Keith Connolly abstained.
