Court fouls up jarveys’ bid to avoid dung catchers
What’s good for roses is not necessarily of benefit to more than a million visitors to Killarney National Park each year, the parks service argued. You can take a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. However, when you feed a horse, the outcome is always certain. And that same outcome was the subject of prolonged legal argument since the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) mooted their dung-catcher plan for horses using Muckross park.
Lawyers, who would never dream of looking a gift horse in the mouth, focused instead on the other end to determine a legally binding end product.
