WHO WE ARE
The Irish Greyhound Owners and Breeders Federation (THE IGOBF) is the controlling body of all Greyhound Owners and Breeders Associations (GOBA).
It is subject to a written constitution and is administered by a democratically elected National Committee consisting of Officers and Representatives from each of the affiliated associations.
The IGOBF have 1548 members representing the nine affiliated GOBAs.
THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF THE FEDERATION ARE:
- To coordinate the efforts of all Associations, to safeguard the rights of the members, and to promote their best interests in so far as they relate to the breeding, rearing, maintaining, training, racing, coursing and selling of greyhounds.
- To make effective representation and contributions to Rásaíocht Con Éireann/Greyhound Racing Ireland, the Irish Coursing Club, and to the Minister with responsibility for the Irish Greyhound Industry.
- To ensure that Rásaíocht Con Éireann, Boards of Directors, Track Management, and the ICC do not act to the detriment of the members of the GOBA’s.
