• Two men fined for hunting protected wild birds in Laois Wildlife Act offence (hunting protected wild birds) · Co. Laois

  Clifford Roe and Ian Fairbrother, both of County Laois, were charged with breaches of the Wildlife Acts after video recordings taken at the scene showed them with an unidentified third man behind a camouflage hide with shotguns, near plastic rook decoys and dead and maimed rooks. The National Parks and Wildlife Service took the case. On 20 March 2023 the two men pleaded guilty at Portlaoise District Court to summonses for using an artificial decoy and hunting protected wild birds, and Roe also pleaded guilty to using a crow caller. Judge Alec Gabbett convicted Roe and fined him €1,500 and convicted Fairbrother and fined him €1,000, with six months each to pay.
