242. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the findings of the investigation by the National Parks and Wildlife Service into the Loughrea coursing meeting held in October 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12448/22]
View answerFollowing the investigation by my officials, Loughrea Coursing Club were found to be in breach of a number of conditions of the Section 34 licence to capture live hares. The licence for the Loughrea Coursing Club was immediately suspended for the rest of the coursing season, which has now ended. Any sanctions to be taken against that Club will be considered as part of any new licence application.
