About

Operating as the regulators and promoters of greyhound sport in Ireland, semi-state owned company Irish Greyhound Board’s position as governors of the unique sport demands a niche legal perspective. The Board are responsible for doping control within the sport as well as pushing investment in stadia and other related infrastructure. The Board’s funding is made up of unique revenue generation methods gained through on-site betting, which are invested back into the sport itself, highlighting the strong need for the organisation to work efficiently and smoothly as possible. Compliance support at the Board is led by Hilary Forde, director of racing governance and compliance, whose remit is to ensure that the regulatory and compliance system is effectively observed by all stakeholders in the Irish Greyhound industry, facilitating the highest possible level of integrity for greyhound racing in Ireland.
