Council to kick up a stink in court over horse manure

AN ongoing row between Killarney jarveys and the town council over the issue of horse manure on the streets could end up in the courts, it emerged yesterday.

The council, which has been at loggerheads with the jarveys for several years, is threatening to crack down by taking legal action to stop jaunting cars from using the streets if they don’t comply with bylaws.

Town manager Tom Curran said the council would take jarveys to court if they continued to drive on the streets without equine sanitary devices, which are commonly called ‘horse nappies’. The council has also said it would tackle the question of unlicensed jarveys.
