Ban Fox Hunting Bill Introduced – Irish People Say For Fox Sake Ban Hunting
Ruth Coppinger TD has introduced a Bill to the Dáil that would ban fox hunting.
The Animal Health and Welfare (Ban on Fox Hunting) Bill 2025 aims to amend the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013, which contains an exemption for hunting.
Deputy Coppinger’s bill, if enacted, would add a paragraph to Section 12 to “specify that fox hunting and related practices are banned and therefore cannot be considered as lawful hunting”.
The bill would also ban but trail hunting and the snaring and trapping of foxes.
Introducing the Bill, Deputy Coppinger said that she believed it was the first time a bill banning fox hunting was introduced in the Dáil.
