Over €15,000 has been paid by three Killarney jarveys in compensation to a Killarney couple against whom they ran “a scurrilous” campaign of harassment via email, phone and internet.

A campaign of harassment by two Killarney jarveys against a husband and wife who had formed a rival jarvey co-operative business with a number of others was “scurrilous” and born out of greed, a judge has said.
