View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 121 and 124 together.
On 16 September last my Department issued licenses under the Wildlife Acts to the Irish Coursing Club on behalf of its affiliated clubs to net and tag hares for the forthcoming 2020/2021 coursing season. The licenses are published on the website of the National Parks and Wildlife Service at the following link: https://www.npws.ie/licences/hare-coursing.
