TD Ruth Coppingers Speaks to LMFM About Bill her Fox Hunting Ban Bill Being Defeated in The Dáil - 18/12/2025

The bill to ban fox hunting in Ireland, proposed by People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger, has been defeated in the Dáil.The bill was defeated by a large majority.Twenty-four TDs voted to amend the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 to ban the hunting of a fox or foxes, and to provide for related matters - however, 124 TDs voted against.People Before Profit Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger says she will continue to fight foxhunting despite a setback in the Dail last night.She says 85 per cent of people oppose fox hunting and it's not the first time the Dáil has been "poles apart from the population".Deputy Coppinger joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this. We also spoke to animal welfare advocate and My lovely Horse Rescue volunteer Martina Kenny, to get her reaction to this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
