    1. Shouldn’t be surprised given how the fox hunting ban turned out but Christ it would be nice if the government would vote the way the people they represent want them to at some point

      Very strange. Have to wonder what hold the Hare coursers have on the overwhelming majority of the Dail.

      Sinn Féin demonstrating once again that they are a complete waste of space.

      Shame on them all. Coursing is nothing more than gambling and cruelty.

    5. > A poll found nearly two-thirds of adults (65%) are in favour of an outright ban, while 23% were opposed. Some 12% were undecided.

      So, most people in Ireland are for a ban? Why not support what the voters want?

      > Martin argued that some people from rural Ireland have come to feel their way of life is “under sustained attack”.

      It’s called change and bringing them into the 21st century where there is no space for barbaric sports.

      > Martin said there are regulations for hare coursing and penalties for those who deviate from them. A ban may lead people to do it illegally, without such regulation, he said.

      Didn’t Sinn Fein use this argumentation before? Why are the government and opposition using the same rhetoric?

      Are we able to see which TDs voted? I’d like to give my local one a piece of my mind when I see her, if she has voted to keep it.

      British blood sport – i honestly dont understand it. Im disgusted. Only 24 voted to ban. I emailed 30 TDs last week and one responded yesterday just before the vote. A group of people taking part in watching dogs chase a poor hare, its barbaric. Post colonial hang up – they give out a out the English and then they want to be them

      Between this and the fox hunting ban I’m never voting for any FF or fg TD they can all get f u c k e d

      SF doing everything they can to alienate voters, first it was fox hunting, now its hare coursing.

      Another loss for the vulnerable. We hate animal welfare here. „Its okay to brutalise animals because its worth 70mil to the economy and i dont care that the polls suggest the majorityof people disgare with this view.“ – the position of our government.

      Embarrassing. We like to think that we are so modern but every now and then the mask slips.

    12. Can’t ban fox hunting.

      Can’t ban hare coursing.

      Going to disregard the third attempt to get evidentiary support in the Dáil for decriminalisation of drugs.

      Won’t pass the occupied territories bill.

      These are kinda unhealthy signs for our democracy
