QCA supports alerts sent out by the excellent campaigning group the Irish Council Against Blood Sports (ICABS), regularly writing to the ministers on the subject of hunting, terrier work and coursing.
For your information, and for anyone with contacts in the Republic who might be interested, these are the annual rallies.
