Other Questions: Hare Coursing (22 Oct 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Not granting a licence this year would certainly have ensured better acknowledgement of the conditions. It was horrifying to read the reports. As the Minister said, the lack of co-operation and the incidence of intimidation were specifically mentioned in one report while the other report mentioned serious issues. The ranger was unable to verify if a number of hares had been released, 39...

Other Questions: Hare Coursing (22 Oct 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I remind the Minister that there have been reports of breaches every year, not just this year. The clubs are assuring the Minister with their words but we shall see. We know about empty vessels making the most noise. They are giving the Minister these assurances but I am in no doubt there will be breaches this year.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Monuments (22 Oct 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: On the same theme, my question relates to the fact there misleading information and misinformation led to the Minister's predecessor signing the consent order. In view of that, will the Minister put a freeze on the consent order so as to ensure there can be a proper, independent, comprehensive assessment of the battlefield site?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Monuments (22 Oct 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Nobody disagrees with the development of the area, because it has been a derelict, abandoned site and disgrace to all of our governments since 1916 or since after the Civil War. However, the point is that the whole area is a monument and other buildings on the street, apart from Nos. 14-17, have been identified in the Myles battlefield report as having significance in regard to the events of...
