WATCH: 'This is a joke' - Commentator's take on farcical Kilkenny racing event

A screenshot of the video stream from the race at Kilkenny Greyhound Stadium - see full video below!

A live broadcast from Kilkenny Greyhound Stadium was disrupted in peculiar circumstances earlier this week when scaffolding and a construction worker obstructed the video feed during a race.
