Question:

775. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will maintain the current restrictions on the way in which the locations and when hares can be captured for the purpose of coursing in the context of continued widespread infection of the RHD2 virus among hares in Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19850/21]

Written answers

I have not yet received an application from the Irish Coursing Club for licenses to net hares for the forthcoming coursing season which will begin in September next. On receipt of an application, I will consider all relevant issues including the matters relating to the RHD2 virus.
