asked the Minister for Justice if he is aware that advertisements have appeared in the Press on behalf of English firms offering high prices for foxes' skins, and if, in view of the fact that the trapping of foxes is a serious menace to the continuation of hunting in some districts, he will, if necessary, introduce legislation to prevent this practice of trapping which, if persisted in, would seriously interfere with this popular sport and lucrative asset of the Saorstát.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - TRAPPING OF FOXES.
My attention has not been drawn to the advertisements in question, but enquiries have been instituted and if the facts are as stated by the Deputy, I shall consider whether the introduction of legislation to deal with the matter is desirable and possible.
