Other Questions: Hare Coursing (11 Mar 2015)

Clare Daly: I will certainly suggest that they do that, but I would respectfully say to the Minister that the monitoring of licences is the prerogative of her Department. Some of the conditions for the licences are being severely breached. In Mallow, for example, nobody attended the meeting arranged by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, NPWS, officer to meet the coursers. In Liscannor, a ranger...

Will the Minister outline the contact she has had with...

Other Questions: Hare Coursing (11 Mar 2015)

Clare Daly: I am glad the Minister verified that there has been considerable contact with her Department.

Hare coursing is a practice that has been outlawed in Australia, Britain, Northern Ireland and so on. I hope the Minister will agree to meet some of the...
