The pair were hunting in a prohibited area close to homes on Sunday morning, using weapons that belonged to one of the two men. When officers located them again later that afternoon, one of the men was found with ten wood pigeons as game. Each man was fined €2,000 for hunting in a prohibited area and a further €1,000 for illegally transporting hunting weapons.
