Last night’s vote in the Dail to ban the Ward Union has clearly demonstrated that the tail is wagging the dog. We never believed that Fianna Fail would turn on its core supporters and our rural communities and assist the Green Party in delivering one of their policy objectives.

The price Fianna Fail will pay for including this Bill in the programme of government will become clear during the next general election. Many of those rural TD’s who attended the RISE information nights to show support for the Rural Way of Life voted to ban the Ward Union Hunt against the wishes of their constituents. They will never be trusted again.

I urge you to contact your FF TD immediatley and express deep regret with their  decision to ban the Ward Union Stag Hunt. They may have won this skirmish but the war is not over. As a matter of fact the battle is just begining.

A positive to come out of this campaign is that there is strength in numbers and by standing together, united, we can overcome such tactics and opposition to what we hold dear. We Love the Countryside and without us conservation would be a word in the dictionary.

We must not rest on our laurels as many challenges will come down the line. We have one opportunity left with the Dog Breeding Establishments Bill to defeat John Gormley’s threat to rural Ireland and this could be the Fianna Fail TDs finest hour by defeating this bill.

I would like to express our thanks to all those who have contributed to RISE and assisted the campaign throughout. To our members thank you for your support and I look forward to meeting you all at the Ballinlough and Birr fairs.
