Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2022
303. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if the current loophole in the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2010 which permits hunting of deer with one dog should be removed as it is being exploited to engage in carted deer hunting. [61999/22]
View answerThe National Parks and Wildlife Service is working to update the Wildlife Act. This is a multi-year project and is currently at an early planning phase.
The issue raised can be examined as part of that work. This will entail an extensive public consultation phase and I would encourage everyone to participate fully in that when the opportunity arises.
