Healy-Rae disputes right of way claim by neighbour

KERRY county councillor Danny Healy-Rae, who arrived in a neck brace at Tralee Circuit Court yesterday, was disputing a neighbour’s claim to a right of way through his property at Fussa, Kilgarvan, the court was told yesterday.

Mr Healy-Rae arrived linked by his wife, Eileen, and accompanied by his children.

The court was told by a barrister for Healy-Rae that the dispute over the right of way was “not all one-way traffic” and that the attempted erection of a gate by Mr Healy-Rae on Saturday last was in response to a gateway being erected by neighbouring landowner Patrick Kieran Traynor, of Riverside Farm, Kilgarvan.
