Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

The Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 provide for the regulation by licence of the capture of hares by coursing clubs affiliated to the Irish Coursing Club. While such licences do not directly regulate the holding of coursing events, the national parks and wildlife service of my Department obtains a schedule of these events from the ICC prior to issuing a composite licence. The following is the current fixture list for the 2004-05 coursing season, as supplied to my Department by the ICC.
