Ward Hunt criticises Greens over ban
The Ward Union Hunt hit back at claims by the junior coalition partner that the Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2010 is as much about protecting the public as it is about animal welfare as the Cabinet gave its approval for the legislation.
Environment Minister John Gormley met concerned Fianna Fáil backbenchers to explain his stance on hunting and controlling dog breeding to them. But the Union Ward Hunt insists it can still mobilise enough Dáil opposition to derail the legislation which will put it out of action if passed by TDs.
