I am advised that a deer hunting licence has recently issued to the applicant referred to by the Deputy.In overall terms, my Department has received over 4,500 applications for deer hunting licences to date in 2015, of which some 4,400 applications have now been processed. I understand that any delays arising have been substantially reduced.
