Maureen O'Sullivan
Ceist:760 Deputy Maureen O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his attention has been drawn to the statistics of hare deaths and injuries during hare coursing sporting events around the country in 2011 provided by an organisation (details supplied); if his further attention has been drawn to death of hares during the sport event, days after the sporting event, death through euthanasia and reports of hares being tossed and mauled during the event leading to injuries or death; if he notes there are discrepancies in the veterinary reports monitored by this organisation; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that muzzling does not prevent death or injury or necessarily reduce the circumstances by which hares may encounter suffering; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
