Vol. 575 No. 4

Written Answers. - Hare Coursing.

Liz McManus

Ceist:

144 Ms McManus asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that in contravention of the licence conditions of netting hares that a coursing club in the south are hosting a coursing club from the north (details supplied) and have extended their meeting from a two day event to a three day to accommodate the northern club, which will put further pressure and stress on hares already subjected to cruelty and terror; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28520/03]

I refer to the reply to Question No. 223 of 20 November 2003.

Neither the circumstances adverted to in that question nor in this question appear to be inconsistent with the provisions of the licence issued by my Department to the Irish Coursing Club in respect of the 2003-4 season.
