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.
Unauthorised and unlicenced entry to a person’s land in connection with hare coursing or fox hunting is not a matter for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
