Jarveys fail to get injunction extension in ‘nappies’ row

THE High Court – noted by some for its expertise at cutting through legal horse manure – may also have an aptitude for cutting through horse tails.

Killarney’s jarvey drivers have failed to get a continuing injunction in a dispute over the use of “horse nappies”.

The jarveys had argued the dung catchers rendered the horse’s tails immovable and meant they could not swat flies effectively, causing them to become irritable and potentially dangerous.
