308. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the rangers' report for the coursing meeting at Edenderry, County Offaly, on 20, 21 and 22 October 2017 records breaches of section 10 of the licensing code and that three hares which died at the event were found to have pre-existing conditions; the sanction her Department will take regarding the breach of the licence; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am aware of the reports of National Parks and Wildlife Service officers of my Department in relation to coursing meetings monitored this year.All issues arising from such reports will be reviewed and considered in the context of licenses for the 2018/19 coursing season.
