Should the state reduce greyhound race funding?

The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Following a successful year for Irish athletes in Paris at this year's Olympic Games, it raises the question on the distribution of the state's funding allocations for high performance sports.

Despite a €25 million state funding allocation for high performance sports in Ireland, some Olympic athletes continue to be reliant on second careers to fund their training and ­participation in world events.

However, horse racing and greyhound racing together received €95 million in state funding this year, significantly more than all other sports. Should this fund be reviewed?

Kieran is joined by Micheal Healy Rae, Independent TD for Kerry and Gary Gannon, Social Democrats TD for Dublin, to discuss.
