Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Niall ? Donnch?:
Absolutely is the short answer on the Glen of the Downs. I also thank the Cathaoirleach for the break. Beyond the question, we have significant engagement, as colleagues have said, with our colleagues in Coillte.
On the next question, a vet from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine must be present at each coursing meeting, which we monitor. Our staff, rangers and regional staff monitor as many coursing meetings as they can. Where there are breaches of the coursing licence, there is enforcement and meetings get sanctioned.
