Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) is delighted to announce the donation of €10,000  raised from the recent “Jerseys At The Dogs Nationwide Bucket Collection” to the Dillon Quirke Foundation.

The collection was held over the week of the 1st – 7th April with greyhound racing fans and staff encouraged to wear their club or county jerseys in honour of Dillon and donate what they could at the turnstiles.  The funds raised will help to deliver cardiac screening to over one hundred children currently being screened as part of the nationwide campaign.

Tim Lucey commented, “We are immensely proud to support the Dillon Quirke Foundation. The participation and generosity from all the stadia involved demonstrate the strong sense of community within the greyhound racing world. We hope these funds will help the foundation continue its important cardiac screening work of young GAA players nationwide and continue to honour Dillon’s memory.”
