I have a better Idea. Lets give the €95M the Race horsing and Greyhound racing industries get to the rescues and they can have the €6M and rely on Handouts and donations .. but since they "generate a huge amount" for the Country they shouldn't need any of that at all.

Turf has been burned across Ireland for centuries in small houses with no ventilation, and now, all of a sudden, people are suffering chronic illnesses.

Fox hunting is cruel and barbaric. The people who do it are savages. If people try and tell you there are only drag hunts here they are lying. Fox hunting needs to be banned in Ireland.
This is the moment a fox is rescued after being trapped in a bag and buried alive.
