Vol. 449 No. 4

Written Answers - Hunt Sabotage.

Noel Davern

Ceist:

145 Mr. Davern asked the Minister for Justice if her attention has been drawn to the threats of violence to the hunt in Ireland in 1995; if her attention has been further drawn to visits by English hunt saboteurs to advise on methods of disruption; and the action, if any, that will be taken on the matter. [3990/95]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that, while threats regarding the disruption of hunt activities are constantly made, they have no information concerning the possible involvement of hunt saboteurs from England. If the Deputy has any information to that effect, he will no doubt communicate it to the Garda.
