297. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the action the National Parks and Wildlife Service is taking in relation to breaches of the 2014-15 hare coursing licences; if any prosecutions have been initiated; and if she will reject an application for a 2015-16 licence. [26535/15]

I have received licence applications from the Irish Coursing Club on behalf of its affiliated clubs to facilitate the tagging and capturing of hares for the purposes of hare coursing for the 2015/16 coursing season. In examining these applications, my Department will take account of the various reports available to it in respect of coursing meetings carried out during the 2014/15 season. No prosecutions have been initiated by my Department.
