HUNTING farmer Andy Dunne and his wife Bernie welcomed the Louth Foxhounds for a lawn meet at their well-maintained farm, which has natural spinneys and coverts that are a haven for wildlife.

Andy hunted with the pack for many years. One barn had a display of food and liquid refreshments, which was really appreciated by the followers. Their son Killian has hunted from a young age and, despite busy studying finance at University, he was out on the day. The hunt country is mainly old pasture and tillage, bounded by ditches and hedges.
