The Harold's Cross Stadium management were left angered after missing out again on the event. Mr Tynan representing the track had pointed out that the previous year Paddy O’Donoghue had promised that they could hold the event in 1933. I.C.C chairman John Bruton explained that they could not cancel a ruling by the club that had already been made. Tynan stormed out of a meeting with the ICC and Harold's Cross refused to run any classic competitions or their qualifying races in 1933 and threatened to run their own Irish Championship.Fortune Michael Irish Greyhound Derby 1932-1981 Victory Irish Promotions LtdFortune Michael The 75 Years History of the Irish Greyhound Derby Irish Greyhound Review 0332-3536 The winner Monologue was owned by Luke Maher and bred by John Hughes of Carlow.Comyn John 50 Years of Greyhound Racing in Ireland Aherlow Publishers Ltdhttps://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0001870/19330909/053/0006 In Co.
