Should greyhound racing be banned in Ireland?

The New Zealand government has proposed banning greyhound racing from 2026 – the reason being that the percentage of dogs injured in races remains significantly high. New Zealand's greyhound racing industry has long faced criticism for not doing enough to protect the welfare of the animals, with three reviews on the industry over the past decade all recommending major changes. Does Ireland need to look at a similar ban? Independent TD for Kerry, Michael Healy Rae and Katie Corcoran of Greyhound Awareness Cork join Jonathan to discuss.
