Call for mediation in jarvey dispute

THERE were further calls yesterday for mediation in the horse dung row between the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Killarney jarveys.

It was business at usual for the jarveys over the weekend, after they obtained a temporary High Court injunction allowing them back into Killarney National Park.

They had effectively been locked out of the park since Tuesday by the NPWS because of their refusal to attach dung-catchers to their horse-drawn carriages.
