553. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the sanctions that will be placed on a coursing club (details supplied) for allegedly contravening the terms of its licence by capturing wild hares with visible signs of ill-health that were subsequently coursed and died; 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 licences for the 2018/19 coursing season.
