Jarveys face park ban in row over dung

KILLARNEY’S jarveys are set to be banned from the National Park in a continuing row over horse dung.

The ban, imposed by the national park authorities, will come into effect from June 8 unless the jarveys fit their traps and carriages with equine sanitary devices — also known as dung catchers and horse nappies.

Horse dung has become a major nuisance on walkways in areas of the park which are visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year.
