I, Charlie McCreevy, Minister for Finance, in exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 3 of the Totalisator Act, 1929 (No. 22 of 1929), hereby grant to Bord na gCon a licence to set up, maintain and work one or more totalisators as defined by that Act on every greyhound race track in respect of which a licence under section 22 of the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958 (No. 12 of 1958), is for the time being in force during the period from this day up to 30th day of July, 1999.

This licence is granted—

In these conditions—

2.

The Board shall not work a totalisator set up under this licence for the staking of money on any event other than a greyhound race held on a greyhound race track in respect of which a greyhound race track licence is for the time being in force.

3.

(1) The Board shall not allow credit betting on a totalisator set up under this licence.

(2) The Board shall not allow facilities to any person on any greyhound race track for the acceptance of credit bets which would eventually be staked by means of a totalisator set up under this licence.

Given under my Official Seal, this 21 day of October, 1998

CHARLIE MCCREEVY
