THE GREYHOUND INDUSTRY IS IN A VERY BAD STATE OF REPAIR MAINLY DUE TO THE CURRENT AND PREVIOUS BOARDS OF THE IGB. MEN WITH LITTLE OR NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE GREYHOUND INDUSTRY. THE MINISTER CONTINUES TO APPOINT PARTY HACKS RATHER THAN THOSE WITH AN INTEREST OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE INDUSTRY. THE TIME HAS COME FOR CHANGE. SOMETHING URGENTLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RESCUE THIS GREAT SPORT. THE SUPPORTERS OF HAROLD'S CROSS WHO NOW RACE IN SHELBOURNE PARK ARE RAPIDLY BEEN PUSHED OUT OF THE GAME. TO SEE NEW NAMES EMERGE ON THE TUESDAY AND FRIDAY RACE CARDS IS TO BE WELCOMED HOWEVER NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE DUBLIN MAN & WOMAN. MANY OF THE DUBLIN DOGS ARE BEING ALLOWED RUN OUT OF TIME BY THE INTRODUCTION OF COUNTRYWIDE DOGS. CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE BEING INTRODUCED TO SHELBOURNE PARK ON TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS MANY UNKNOWN TO EITHER OF THE DUBLIN TRACK IN THE PAST. HOWEVER THEY NOW HOLD A COMMANDING POSITION ON THE RACE CARD. IT IS NOW TIME TO GATHER TOGETHER IN A WAY NEVER BEFORE SEEN AND TAKE A STRONG HAND IN DEALING WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO RUNS THE IRISH GREYHOUND BOARD. NOTE I SAY GENTLEMAN NOT GENTLEMEN. PERHAPS SOME INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED INTO THE RUNNING OF THE IGB. FOR INSTANCE HOW DOES ONE MAN HOLD THREE DIFFERENT POSITIONS WITHIN THE IGB. WHEN WAS THE POST OF HUMAN RESOURCES ADVERTISED? WHEN WAS THE POST OF DEPUTY CEO ADVERTISED? DOES ONE MAN GET THREE PAY PACKAGES? WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE POST OF HEAD OF HUMAN RESOURCES? HOW CAN THE SAME PERSON BE IN CHARGE OF THE CATERING COMPANY COMPANY AND HUMAN RESOURCES AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A DISPUTE WITH A MEMBER OF THE CATERING STAFF AND THE NOW HEAD OF CATERING IS ALSO THE HEAD OF HUMAN RESOURCES? CANT YOU JUST SEE THE HEADLINES "IGB RUN SIMILAR TO THE FAI". FAT CATS DRAWING LARGE SALARIES AND EXPENSES AT THE COST OF THE GREYHOUND MAN AND WOMAN. ON HOLD UNTIL AFTER THE AFTER THE ELECTION THERE IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO BE MADE BY THE IGB, THIS WILL INFORM THE MEMBERS OF THE INDUSTRY THAT WE ARE ABOUT TO LOOSE UP TO FOUR STADIUMS.THE NEW INDECON REPORT STATES "FUNDING MUST BE WITHDRAWN FROM CERTAIN STADIA". THE NEW REPORT IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE WITH A DIFFERENT DATE. (MONEY FOR AULD ROPE,PAID TWICE FOR SAYING THE SAME OLD THING). I UNDERSTAND THIS REPORT IS READY FOR PUBLICATION HOWEVER THERE ARE RUMORS THE PAST CHAIRMAN OF THE IGB HAS ASKED FOR IT TO BE DELAYED AS IT COULD DAMAGES HIS CHANCES IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION. GREAT REALLY, WE HAVE SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
