It is under condition No. 10. In the most recent season, NPWS officials monitored some or all elements of 30 of the meetings held to ensure compliance with the agreed conditions. Veterinary staff from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine also carry out inspections during the coursing season to monitor compliance with the rules governing animal welfare relating to greyhounds and hares.
The ICC submits various reports to the NPWS as required by the conditions of the licences, including control steward reports on the operation of coursing meetings, veterinary reports and hare capture and release reports.
