The motion of the debate is: "This House Would Ban Hunting in Ireland". Speaking for the motion is Galway Green Councillor, Niall O’Brolchain and Olivea Lally, Auditor of the NUI, Galway Animal Rights Society. Councillor, Niall O’Brolchain has been involved in the formation and drafting of the Green Animal Welfare Bill with Trevor Sargent and Minister, John Gormley, all who have a vested interest in banning hunting in Ireland. Speaking against the motion will be David Scallan, of the NUI, Galway Countryside Society and Ph.D. student undertaking research on the impact of country sports on economy and habitat conservation in Ireland along with the Hunting Association of Ireland Ltd Chairman, Gavin Duffy. Amongst the many organisations invited are the Irish Council Against Blood Sports (ICABS) and Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN). It is vitally important to have large support from those involved in hunting and country sports in Ireland to demonstrate the support for hunting. Please forward this message to as many members as possible involved in hunting, shooting and country sports. It is all our responsibility. We will win the vote if we have the people there on the night!
