ONE of the country’s biggest estate agencies has been drawn into a row between anti- and pro-hunt campaigners.

ALL’S fair in love and war, as they say. Or is it? Hunters and campaigners against bloodsports are never going to see eye to eye.

The Minister for the Environment John Gormley has issued a limited licence for a controversial stag hunt in Co Meath.

I WAS pleasantly surprised that the Minister for the Environment, John Gormley, was taking a moral stance in not issuing a stag-hunting licence to the Ward Union Hunt (Irish Examiner, September 6).

BLOODSPORTS enthusiasts, and in particular the Ward Union Hunt in Co Meath, have been making an unholy show of themselves on the airwaves recently.

The Minister for the Environment John Gormley is to issue licences to the Irish Coursing Club for the capture and tagging of hares for the coming season.

STAG hunting is effectively to be banned in Ireland, the Irish Examiner has learnt.
