We have just had it confirmed from Jim Ryan , Kilkenny County Council that a decision has been made via his superior Tony Walsh ,Director of services that the seized dogs will be not killed but will be given out to rescues for re-homing. Seven dogs were already returned to the travellers –THE REST ARE SAVED. We had stressed the dogs did not deserve to die and that some of them were pregnant and that a prompt decision was vital. We had been preparing for to demonstrate but thankfully people power and all the emails and calls have won the day. Thank you to all who cared enough to get involved. Thank you to Kilkenny county Council for making the humane decision. We wish the dogs a full and happy life.

In addition three quarters of its students are studying in prefabs and in a building dating back to 1858! They are still waiting for a new school. ... read full story / add a comment

The AOHS is pleased to hear of the financial difficulties of the Irish Coursing Club due to a court ruling that it must pay damages to a land developer Greenband Investments, on the eve of the 2009 ICC final in Clonmel. Despite strong public opinion which favours an end to this outdated and barbaric pursuit, Coursing is still hanging in there, the pastime of the minority cloth-cap brigade.
