Question:186 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Justice if any action has been taken in respect of the killing of 37 hares at the national coursing finals at Clonmel, County Tipperary in February 1992, following which the Irish Coursing Club reported that a post mortem carried out on the hares by the Irish Coursing Club showed a high level of worm infestation and coccidiosis, given that coursing of sick or injured hares is a contravention of licence condition number nine and an offence under the Wildlife Act, 1976.
