Join the "Stop Funding Greyhound Cruelty" demo outside Dail Eireann, Kildare Street, Dublin on Wednesday 22nd January 2025 from 10am to 2pm.
The demo is organised by Greyhound Action Ireland, Greyhound Awareness Cork and DEEL Sighthound Rescue who state: "The message to the incoming government is clear - the public funding of greyhound racing is state-sponsored cruelty to dogs. It’s time to stop this. Let’s stand together to demand a more compassionate and ethical Ireland. Your presence can make a real difference for these innocent animals."

ACTION ALERT
Don’t go greyhound racing. Please join us in urging the government to STOP the massive grants that are propping up this cruel, dog-killing gambling activity. Since 2001, Greyhound Racing Ireland has received €366,986,146 in funding, including €18.2 million for 2023, €19 million for 2024 and €19.82 million for 2025. This is unacceptable and must be stopped.
Tell the leaders of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Sinn Fein to stop supporting this funding.
