Minister Joseph Madigan has suspended licences issued to coursing clubs to catch hares.
This was after it was revealed that a disease fatal to rabbits and hares, but of no risk to humans, was confirmed in the wild in Ireland for the first time. Cllr Mike Kennelly of Fine Gael disagrees with the minister's decision.
