.Niall Collins made a statement last night from Limerick’s greyhound track He says he’s happy to vote for funding for the greyhound and coursing industry ‘It’s part of our culture, part of our heritage,’ he says Still no comment on any of the allegations against him

@NiallCollinsTD Neil, Niall Collins? supports animal abuse, he cannot go any lower. TIME FOR AN ELECTION, Enough perjury & corruption is being covered up by this government and its cronies in the justice department

@NiallCollinsTD A colonial "sport" brought here in 1928 by the british gentry that we now heavily subsidy Not a national "sport" by any stretch

@NiallCollinsTD Hé should bé hounded and not the hares

@NiallCollinsTD @NiallCollinsTD Deputy, check with @banbloodsports who will confirm that in an Irish poll over 70% want to ban hare coursing. It’s not the culture or heritage we want associated with Ireland. So you support cruelty to animals? The 70% say not in our name.

@NiallCollinsTD Cruelty to animals is not part of our culture. Your lack of empathy to animals and Irish people that are struggling, your non stop corruption says everything about your character. You have no shame 😔

@NiallCollinsTD Typical Niall Collins, run with the Hare and hunt with the Hounds.

@banbloodsports @NiallCollinsTD .@NiallCollinsTD It's not part of our culture & the vast majority of society thinks it's barbaric & want it gone. Also, don't you have some serious questions to answer? Do you think these allegations will just go away? You've an obligation to answer them.

@NiallCollinsTD This lad is despicable.

@NiallCollinsTD Coursing is not my culture or heritage. #bancoursing
