Since 2019, in total, 38 cases of RHD2 in rabbits and 9 cases of RHD2 in hares have been notified to the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of my Department from across seven counties: Clare, Dublin, Kerry, Kildare, Meath, Wexford and Wicklow. The NPWS has not been notified of any cases since July 2021.
