The family of a woman who died when her pony and trap smashed onto rocks at the Gap of Dunloe is to sue Kerry County Council.

Votes of sympathy for the family of the tourist couple killed when the horse and trap in which they were travelling plunged down a ravine in the Gap of Dunloe, a week ago, were passed at a meeting of Kerry County Council yesterday morning. 

More than 200 people have signed a book of condolence which will be given to the family of the American couple who died in a pony and trap accident earlier this week while on a sightseeing tour of the Gap of Dunloe in Kerry.

Gay novelist Edmund White lived in the French capital in the 1980s, but in his new memoir he recounts that local customs were a shock to him, says Richard Fitzpatrick.
