A number of greyhound skeleton remains have been found in a bog in Newbridge.

The Irish Council against Blood Sports is calling for an investigation after the bones were found dumped 2km from Newbridge Greyhound Stadium.

The discovery was made by a member of the public walking at Roseberry Bog, Newbridge, and the remains include skulls, bones and skeletons.

It has not yet been revealed how many greyhounds are suspected to be dumped at this location.

The Irish Council against Blood Sports has said “dumped greyhounds are the victims of the cruel greyhound racing industry that sees thousands of greyhounds abandoned and killed each year”.
