Jarveys seek compensation to abandon business as stand-off escalates

KILLARNEY’S jarveys, locked out for a second time this year from the Killarney National Park, are seeking compensation from the Government to abandon the centuries-old trade.

A bitter stand-off between jarveys and Killarney National Park authorities further escalated yesterday when the jarveys were blocked from entering the park.

The row centres on the jarveys refusing to fit dung-catching devices to their jaunting cars.
