Greyhound racing tracks are still causing injuries and deaths to greyhounds in Ireland.

A Dáil question by Paul Murphy TD to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Marine, Martin Heydon TD, has revealed that from January to the end of April, (2025) 106 greyhounds suffered injuries while racing and more than half of them, fifty-four, were euthanised by track vets. The deaths of two other injured greyhounds were listed as racing fatalities – they both died after suffering broken necks.
