It is legal to snare and trap in Ireland John If u use them as a method of control for vermin and as long as u check ur traps and snares once a day and release any non target species back in to the wild unharmed and feed ur decoy and give him fresh water daily.Have caught a lot of mink and magpies and greycrows using traps and have just started to use snares again for rabbits and foxes.Dont know of any place in Ireland that sell snare making supplies but i do know of a few places in England and America if u want the links p.m me and i will send them on to u lad
