Following the investigation by my officials, Loughrea Coursing Club were found to be in breach of a number of conditions of the Section 34 licence to capture live hares. The licence for the Loughrea Coursing Club was immediately suspended for the rest of the coursing season, which has now ended. Any sanctions to be taken against that Club will be considered as part of any new licence application.
