Countryside Alliance Ireland - love the countryside

RISE! Rural Ireland Says Enough! Is campaigning at national, regional and local level to mobilise public and political opinion in support of our traditional field sports and rural pastimes. Our supporting organisations represent more than 300,000 people involved in country sports. Right now, there are three immediate threats to rural sports:

The Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009, proposed by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, is currently awaiting its first debate in the Seanad.

The same Ministers Wildlife (Amendment) Bill, which includes a ban on stag hunting, is scheduled to be published between now and Easter.

The Animal Health and Welfare Bill is being drafted by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

These proposals represent part of a wider, fundamentalist Green agenda being foisted on people.

Rural Ireland says Enough! It is time to draw a clear line, to resist these threats and to promote our traditional rural way of life. RISE! Is supported by people throughout Ireland who value our distinctive and traditional way of life. They are people who wish to conserve and develop a better way of life for themselves, their children and for future generations. How can you help our campaign? Click Here to find out
