• Tipperary woman banned from dog ownership reportedly raced greyhounds after court ruling Animal welfare offences; breach of dog ownership ban · Co. Tipperary

  Michelle Connolly, a Nenagh native whose age is not given, was the subject of an ISPCA inspection of her farm at Puckaun, Nenagh, in 2019, which found three mistreated dogs in a cage and six greyhounds in a shed. Connolly pleaded guilty to seven offences and was banned from owning, keeping or breeding dogs for ten years at Nenagh District Court in May 2022. A report by the Irish Examiner, carried by tipperarylive.ie on 11 January 2024, said she then owned and raced greyhounds at Irish tracks for ten months despite the ban. The latest development is that the Greyhound Board of Great Britain says it is aware of the investigation, while Greyhound Racing Ireland has referred the matter to the courts.
