303. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if the current loophole in the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2010 which permits hunting of deer with one dog should be removed as it is being exploited to engage in carted deer hunting. [61999/22]

The National Parks and Wildlife Service is working to update the Wildlife Act. This is a multi-year project and is currently at an early planning phase.

The issue raised can be examined as part of that work. This will entail an extensive public consultation phase and I would encourage everyone to participate fully in that when the opportunity arises.
