Irish laurels finals at 9pm on @VMSportIE

Government cannot claim to care about animal welfare and working people while decimating industries that support them. Targeting businesses based on whether or not the PM likes them is elitist and just plain hypocritical.

The proudest girls in Laois this week ❤️
Mia, Lauren, Ellie and Amy proudly posing with their BAR 1 Irish Laurels Finalist, Slick Sanctuary, at home in Laois today.
The girls are their dad Karol's biggest supporters and we've loved having them and mom Linda here too cheering on their Laurels runners each week of the competition.
Big excitement this week as they prepare for their first Laurels Final and no doubt the girls will be helping out in the build up and on Saturday for racing.
Best of luck ❤️ they even have the red everywhere already!

Farming, film, tourism and sport all get State support, and nobody questions whether they're "viable". Support that pays back 26 times over is an investment, not a handout.

And the State is running a surplus of around €9bn. This isn't racing versus hospitals. No industry is more deserving than another, and if the Government wants to back other sectors too, there's room to do it.

Bookmakers also paid over €140m in betting duty last year, more than the entire fund. Racing's allocation is more than covered by what the betting industry pays in. It isn't coming out of PAYE workers' pockets.

That return supports thousands of rural jobs, breeding, tourism and hospitality, with a large share going straight back to the Exchequer in tax.

Fair points Kevin, and I appreciate the tone. On the money though: the State is putting €102m into the Horse and Greyhound Fund for 2027. The two industries are estimated to generate around €2.67bn a year. That's roughly €26 back for every €1.

Hi Daniel, why don’t you take up my offer and come to our kennel to see for yourself how these dogs are cared for and we can go thru any issues you have instead of living in this bubble of faux outrage. Have you ever considered seeing it from a different perspective?

She thought greyhound racing was cruel.
Until she saw it with her own eyes.
Listen to her story, in her own words 👇🏻
Seeing Is Believing, our new campaign, launches today.

Daniel, greyhound racing is 7 times safer than horse racing. It is a sport enjoyed by many. As you can appreciate a lot of spectator sports have moved online. As a man that I’ve a lot of time for I would appreciate if you could visit out kennel in Newry to see what is reality

Hi Daniel , myself and my whole family go to it. Our livelyhoods and our 8 staff livelihoods depends on it. If you don’t agree with racing that’s fair but would love to welcome you to see the “treatment of the dogs” at our place. Le meas Aoife.

The Standards Commissioner has just dismissed a complaint about me from an anti-greyhound racing lobby.
This is an attempt to stop elected politicians speaking out and shut down debate, in my view.
They can try all they want, I won't be silenced.

A British and Irish Lions legend 🏉
Now a professional greyhound trainer ❤️
Mike Burton has a heart of gold, and has experienced success at the highest levels of rugby and greyhound racing.
