Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 November 2025
342. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of deer that were killed under standard deer hunting licences, by type, county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [62703/25]
View answerData relating to the number of deer shot under Section 29 of the Wildlife Acts from 2015/2016 season to 2023/2024 season is publicly available on my Department's open data website:
opendata.housing.gov.ie/dataset/deer-shot-under-s29-licences-2015-2016-2023-2024
Data relating to the number of deer shot during the 2024/25 season will not be available until 2026, this is due to the fact that deer hunting returns are still being received as applicants apply for their new licence.
