🚨 Is this just the tip of the iceberg?

Party for Animal Welfare (PAW) is demanding transparency following reports that an investigation has been launched into three suspected fraud cases at Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI), involving potential losses of around €60,000.

An independent third party is currently investigating the cases, which were identified by GRI management.

And there are further questions that deserve answers. In 2025, GRI received a staggering €19.82 million in State funding, while racing activity recorded a deficit of €398,004 — a 61% increase on the previous year.

Meanwhile, more than 88,120 greyhounds were entered into almost 14,900 races across 1,464 race meetings. 🐾

How much more evidence do we need before Ireland finally says ENOUGH?

💔 Greyhounds continue to suffer injuries and deaths on the track.
💶 Millions in public money continue to support the industry.
❓ And now suspected fraud cases are under investigation.

PAW says this is yet another reason why State-sponsored greyhound racing must end.

📢 PLEASE JOIN US THIS SATURDAY!

Talking about :

Cats dumped in taped-up laundry basket rehomed. Two abandoned cats rescued from a taped-up laundry basket in a "distressing condition" have found a new home - where they will "want for nothing".

Basil and Hazel were discovered in in on 19 August, underweight and living with untreated flea allergies, which had left them covered in sores.

After being taken in by Goole and District , they have regained weight and have now been rehomed by Catherine Collins, who lives in Beverley.

The 52-year-old said: "We are renowned for spoiling our cats completely. They will want for nothing. They will rule the roost and will have us in line by the end of the week, I'm sure."

"They'll get Christmas presents, you name it. They'll have whatever they want," she added.

Georgina Petty, from Goole RSPCA, said: "Basil and Hazel arrived in a distressing condition but we're really heartened by the progress they've made with us over these past few week."

She described the pair as "lovely-natured cats" and thanked the public who had been "moved by their story" and donated towards their care, before they were adopted by the Collins family

🐾🇮🇪 IRELAND — IT’S TIME TO CATCH UP!

As our animal friends at Feral and Stray Cats Dundalk so wisely put it: Europe is moving forward — so why is Ireland lagging behind?

The European Parliament has made it clear: a cat is not a piece of property — they are a family member. 🐱❤️

By 558 votes to 35, the European Parliament backed the EU’s first-ever legislation specifically protecting cats and dogs, with the Council subsequently approving it.

The new measures include:

🐾 Mandatory microchipping and registration of cats on national databases, accessible across EU countries.

🐾 Stronger rules to prevent irresponsible breeding, including breeding between close relatives.

🐾 A ban on breeding animals for extreme physical features that cause suffering.

🐾 A ban on unnecessary body alterations carried out for show purposes.

This is a huge step towards traceability, accountability and better animal welfare. 🌍🐾

But here’s the question:

🇮🇪 WHY IS IRELAND STILL LAGGING BEHIND?

Party for Animal Welfare (PAW) is calling on the Irish Government, county councils and city councils to ACT NOW.

We also need much stronger action to end kitten and puppy farming, crack down on irresponsible breeding and ensure every animal can be traced and protected.

And we cannot forget the thousands of stray and feral cats struggling to survive. 🐈‍⬛

Ireland urgently needs a properly funded, nationwide TNR programme — Trap, Neuter and Return — to humanely control populations, prevent endless breeding and reduce suffering.

🇮🇪 We need action, not excuses.

📢 We call on the Government and local authorities to:
✅ Strengthen animal welfare legislation
✅ End kitten and puppy farming
✅ Support responsible breeding and registration
✅ Fund nationwide TNR programmes
✅ Protect stray and feral cats

Europe has shown what is possible.

Now Ireland must show that we care too. ❤️🐾

👉 SHARE THIS. SPEAK UP. DEMAND ACTION.

Thank you

🐾 Could this really be the beginning of the end for greyhound racing? 🐾

Like Dogs Trust and the Party for Animal Welfare (PAW), we hope the permanent closure of Drumbo Park in County Down marks an important turning point in the debate around greyhound racing. 🐕💚

Dogs Trust has described the closure as potentially the “beginning of the end” for greyhound racing and has called for a managed, phased end to the sport. The closure reportedly leaves Brandywell Stadium in Derry/Londonderry as Northern Ireland’s only remaining greyhound track.

But we should not simply sit on the sidelines, shout and cheer. If we genuinely believe greyhound welfare should come first, we need to peacefully and consistently campaign for change. 📢🐾

That means calling we look at evidence-based facts so greyhound racing must come to end, across the island of Ireland — North and South — and for stronger protection of every greyhound involved.

It is important to be accurate: figures cited by Dogs Trust of almost 4,400 deaths/euthanasias and more than 38,000 injuries between 2017 and 2025 relate to licensed tracks in Great Britain, not Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. Dogs Trust also says comparable publicly available injury and fatality data for Northern Ireland is lacking.

In the Republic of Ireland, greyhound racing remains regulated by Rásaíocht Con Éireann (Greyhound Racing Ireland) under the Greyhound Racing Act 2019.

Our position is simple: animal welfare should come before entertainment. ❤️🐕‍🦺

So we are calling for a serious, transparent and evidence-led pathway towards ending greyhound racing, alongside an end to associated hare coursing, while ensuring every greyhound is properly accounted for and has the opportunity of a safe and loving future. 🏡🐾

Ban greyhound racing and hare coursing — North and South. Let’s make the welfare of the dogs the priority. ✊🐶

This coming Saturday the 12th September, we need as many of you as possible to join the Ban Greyhound racing protest at Shelbourne Park stadium in Ringsend, Dublin 4. We truly need as many as possible to turn up to put pressure on the Irish government to ban greyhound racing. Greyhound racing has been banned in Scotland, Wales and New Zealand just this year and it will happen in Ireland if enough pressure is applied. So Please, please, please come out and support this protest this coming Saturday the 12th from 515pm. The eircode is D04 W5C3 and it's only a ten minute stroll from the city centre.

🐄✊ Two down, one more to go.

Party for Animal Welfare (PAW) would like to once again thank Ethical Farming Ireland (EFI) for their tireless campaigning to end the transport of live animals by ferry. 🙏❤️

🎉 Brittany Ferries has now stopped transporting live farm animals, including unweaned calves, from Ireland to France. This follows the earlier withdrawal of Stena Line from its Ireland–France service.

That means two ferry operators have now stepped away from facilitating this trade within a year. 🚢🐄

PAW has proudly attended several protests organised by EFI, standing alongside other animal-welfare organisations and campaigners calling for an end to the long-distance transport of unweaned calves. 📢✊

But the fight isn't over.

⚠️ Irish Ferries remains the ferry operator identified by EFI as facilitating the transport of unweaned calves from Ireland to France, with its Dublin–Cherbourg route continuing to operate.

We now need to keep the pressure on until all Irish ferry operators stop facilitating live calf exports.

🐄💚 Every step matters. Every voice matters. And together, we can keep pushing for a future where animals are not subjected to long and stressful journeys for export.

Two down. One more to go. ✊

🐾 PAW in Northern Ireland – Working for Animals Across the Island of Ireland 🇮🇪🐶

Party for Animal Welfare (PAW) works towards establishing itself as a registered political party in Northern Ireland, PAW activists will, whenever possible, attend animal welfare protests, campaigns and events across the North. 🐾✊

To register as a political party in Northern Ireland, PAW needs at least 100 members living in Northern Ireland. PAW is already a registered political party in the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪. https://www.ipaw.ie/join

PAW also works together with Animal Welfare Party UK, but we believe there is an urgent need for an All-Ireland Party for Animal Welfare. Animals don't recognise borders between North & South. And sadly, animal cruelty and related crimes can cross those borders too. 🐕🐈🐎

We very interested to hear that Causeway Coast Dog Rescue (CCDR) is hosting its annual animal welfare conference at Parliament Buildings, Stormont, on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. 🏛️🐾

The conference, “A Decade On… Legislation into Action: Celebrating Progress and Shaping the Future of Animal Welfare in Northern Ireland”, will bring together animal welfare campaigners, politicians, academics, legal experts and charities. It will also see the launch of the CCDR Animal Welfare Manifesto 2026–2030.

PAW will try to find out whether we are welcome to attend too — fingers crossed! 🤞🐾

We look forward with great interest to seeing the CCDR Manifesto 2026–2030 and to continuing to work for stronger animal protection across Northern Ireland and the whole island of Ireland. ❤️🐾
