A MAN was fined €500 following a prosecution under the Wildlife Act.
The Department of Housing, Heritage, and Local Government confirmed that Adrian Hayes, of Marion Place, Janesboro, Limerick City, was prosecuted for possession of a live perching bird after he was found with “five wild goldfinches in a cage, three glue sticks concealed in a tube container, a holding box, and a trap” in his home.
The investigation was sparked following a report to the National Parks and Wildlife Service from a member of the public.
It is an offence under the Wildlife Act to sell, purchase, or possess a live perching bird. Mr Hayes entered a guilty plea at Limerick District Court and was convicted and fined €500.
