State has given licence for new hare coursing season
Sir, – Conservationists have naturally welcomed the release of four white-tailed eagle chicks into the wild at Killarney National Park as part of a project to re-introduce this magnificent species back into our country after an absence of almost two centuries.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin was among those present for the long-awaited release of the eagle chicks and he reminded us that the bird is an intrinsic part of our heritage and biodiversity. What a strange message to be sending out at a time when so many species, here and abroad, are being pushed to the point of extinction: releasing four members of one protected species, while giving the go-ahead for the snatching of thousands of our supposedly protected hares so that dogs can be set on them.
