Irish greyhound racing has been around since 1927. In April of that year, the first greyhound track opened in Celtic Park and it wasn’t long before more opened.For just under 100 years, going to the dogs has been considered a traditional pastime by many Irish families.
It was a chance for people to get together, enjoy the thrill of the race and even put a bet on.
Most importantly, it was a chance for working-class families to enjoy an accessible version of hunting.
As it gave families the chance to win some leisure money, it quickly became a mainstream event and attendance numbers skyrocketed. Not only this but gambling ‘off-course’ and out of a registered setting was illegal. This made it even more attractive to racegoers.
