Shame on Cllr Bobby O'Connell (Fine Gael, Kerry County Council) and Minister Niall Collins TD (Fianna Fail, Limerick County) for attending Day 3 of the "Irish Cup" hare coursing event at Limerick Racecourse on 1 March 2026. These men enjoy watching Irish Hares running for their lives from greyhounds in a bloodsport that the vast majority of Irish citizens want banned.
