“Derry’s premier destination for delightful dining. Indulge in our carefully crafted menu, blending traditional favourites with innovative culinary creations. Whether you’re in the mood for a cosy night in or a gathering with friends, we’ve got you covered.” How about ‘in the mood’ to join a coachload of hare-coursing supporters? In December 2024, The Brass Neck placed a full-page ad in the booklet for the East Donegal hare coursing club meeting over the border in the Republic of Ireland. The ad stated: “The Brass Neck wishes all runners the best of luck at the East Donegal coursing meeting”. Individuals wearing Brass Neck branded jackets and hats were present at the coursing meeting. So-called ‘competitive coursing’ – like fox hunting – is banned in Northern Ireland but remains legal in the Republic, with licences for the netting of thousands of hares issued by the Department of Heritage. A 2019 RED C poll found that 77% of people in Ireland want coursing banned, with just 9% disagreeing with a ban. A majority in both rural and urban areas are in favour of the ban.
