Irish Coursing Club licences have been suspended with immediate effect due to confirmed cases of Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) found in the wild

Cases have been confirmed in Co Wexford, Co Wicklow and Co Clare.

In the final stages of the infection, animals emerge from covered areas into open areas and are known to convulse or have a fit before finally dying. "A decline in our wild rabbits will have numerous knock-on consequences. Of further concern is the potential for the disease to spread through the Irish hare population."
