Cullen calls the shots

IT IS not often that a Fianna Fáil minister deserves to be praised for decisive action on an issue, but Environment Minister Martin Cullen deserves a pat on the back for refusing to give the shooting fraternity the right to hunt over national parks and nature reserves.

Perhaps the minister will now look at the licensing of hunting. Withdrawing the licences to course hares and hunt deer with hounds would be another good day’s work.
