Surrealing in the Years: Government deserves little credit for passing the zombified Territories Bill

The article critiques the Irish government's handling of the Territories Bill, suggesting it lacks significant achievement. It also discusses the ongoing issue of hare coursing in Ireland, where despite a legislative vote to potentially ban the practice, it remains legal.

The author questions the validity of these economic arguments and points out the broader issues of animal welfare and economic justification for harmful practices.
