It’s time to come clean on hare coursing ban, urges Green party
THE Green Party has claimed it is time for Government TDs to come clean as to why they are against the imposition of a ban on hare coursing.
The party also said the fact that 37 per cent of all government funding in sport goes to the horse racing and greyhound industries is a cause of concern.
Party spokesman on Arts, Sport and Tourism Paul Gogarty described this statistic as “a scandal” and said it would be worth investigating the links between the Government and these two sports.
