    Not a butcher's but Ardkeen Stores sometimes stock it, I think it was SuperValu Kilbarry that had rabbit when I was in there yesterday.

    Rabbits were often used for food until the 1950s when they got out of hand in Australia (they had been taken there for food but they bred till they were eating all the grassland) and myxomatosis was introduced (its a viral disease) to control them, it spread around the world including UK and Ireland. It was a pretty disgusting disease and there was a lot of public revulsion to it; many people stopped eating rabbit.

    Rabbits are not native to Ireland, they were brought from Europe - for food - by the Normans in the 12th century.

    A lot of rabbit was caught in Ireland and sent across the Irish Sea to feed the British population during rationing around WWII time.

    You'll see it in places like Belgium, France and Germany. Things like rabbit stew. Which is delicious.

    Billy Burke on Ballybricke is a fishmonger but he also sells poultry and game. If they don't have it in stock they will get it for you with no hassle.
