Coursing is regulated under the Greyhound Industry Act, 1958, chiefly by the Irish Coursing Club (ICC), subject to the general control and direction of Rásaíocht Con Éireann. Hare coursing is managed and regulated by the Irish Coursing Club (ICC). The organisation consists of 89 affiliated clubs from Ireland and Northern Ireland, all of whom must abide by the ICC’s rules and regulations.
The ICC has informed this Department that the number of insemination centres that have had their licence revoked and the number that have not had their licence renewed is nil in the last five years. Below is the number of inspections for the last five years in tabular form.
