Matt3699 142 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) i took the 2 dogs over last year was down toards inescorthy way bit of mooching and lamping enjoyed it friendly folk but s ireland is a expensive place , the only thing that was a bit cheaper was diesel ,i made the misstake of taking the dogs into the town and got pestered to fk by the travellers but i should have known better Really?! It's a small world Enniscorthy was literally 10 mins away from where I used to live. It is well known for travellers and Hare coursing. I'm not surprised you got pestered. They are good lads though. I used to hunt with a lot of them and they are very passionate about their coursing and lamping. There used to be a dog in Bunclody called Ben who was a Saluki Greyhound and he had a new bitch in with him every day. I think he ended up getting stolen. He was a real good dog though. But yeah, you walk down the street in Wexford with a Lurcher and you will get people coming up to you all day long, asking about the dog and offering you stupid money for it.
