The Irish Coursing Club has asked the High Court to hear its application for an injunction allowing its activities to re-commence as a matter of urgency.

The ICC's Martin Hayden told the High Court on Friday that because the annual coursing season is limited, and is due to finish at the end of February, it was vital from his client's perspective that the injunction be given some priority by the court.
