“Nearly 6,000 of the racing greyhounds born in the years 2021 and 2022 who have been retired from the track are already dead. The oldest of these dogs would not yet be five and a half. The youngest would be about three and a half. Greyhounds can live to be about 14 years of age. These are really horrific statistics” - Midwest Radio presenter Tommy Marren interviews Nuala Donlon of Greyhound Action Ireland (18 May 2026)

ACTION ALERT
Don’t go greyhound racing. Since 2001, Greyhound Racing Ireland has received €386,806,146 in grants, including €19 million for 2024, €19.82 million for 2025 and €19.82 million for 2026. This is unacceptable and must be stopped. Tell the leaders of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Sinn Fein to stop supporting the funding and back a ban on this dog-killing gambling activity.
