 Countryside Alliance Ireland are delighted that Sinn Féin passed a motion at Saturday’s Ard Fheis not to ban coursing. This motion was tabled as a direct result of last year’s motion which had called on the party to ban coursing and fox hunting.
It is clearly evident that Sinn Féin acknowledges the support in rural Ireland for traditional rural occupations including hunting, fishing and hare coursing. Pictured on the left (L-R) is TRM, Sinn Féin West Kerry and Martin Ferris, Sinn Fein Spokesperson on Agriculture and Fisheries of Sinn Féin North Kerry.

Sinn Féin believes that all country sports should continue to be regulated to ensure sustainable wildlife management. |
