Special Telegram: In a momentous gathering of the National Coursing Club, convened today in Liverpool, a significant breakthrough unfolded. The assembly witnessed the reading of a letter authored by Mr P.J. O’Sullivan of Limerick, advocating the recognition of the Irish Central Committee, a body he founded, as an integral committee within their organization, tasked with addressing Irish coursing matters. After a thorough discussion, a pivotal decision was reached—a standing committee, comprising Irish members of the National Coursing Club, would be established to exclusively address affairs pertaining to Irish coursing.
Recalling last September’s pivotal milestone, when Mr O’Sullivan inaugurated a movement to create Irish Central Committees to oversee matters in the realm of Irish Coursing, this latest development marks a significant turning point. The duly established Committee, empowered by the National Coursing Club’s decision, has ushered in a historic juncture for Ireland. For the first time, the country possesses a dedicated platform for adjudicating coursing-related issues, which, until now, had fallen under the purview of counterparts across the English Channel. This resounding triumph resonates as a victory for the County Limerick Coursing Club, elevating Ireland’s status within the realm of this cherished sport.
