Jarveys take dung-catcher row to Supreme Court

KILLARNEY jarveys are to appeal to the Supreme Court after the High Court ruled they would have to use dung catchers on their horse-drawn carriages.

The 27 jarveys decided on the appeal after meeting their legal advisers, barrister Elizabeth Murphy and solicitor Paul O’Donoghue, on Thursday night.

They brought the action against the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in a bid to lift a court order that bans them from Killarney National Park unless they use the controversial dung catchers.
