However, Greyhound Action Ireland spokesperson Nuala Donlon says cutting State funding would have a similar impact. Nuala says that she remains especially concerned about the welfare of the dogs, noting many of them sustain serious injuries every year from injuries sustained while racing.Nuala joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
