Jarveys back in business with dung catchers in tow

JARVEYS were yesterday operating in Killarney National Park for the first time in eight months, after agreeing to attach controversial dung catchers to their carriages.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) removed bollards which had been placed at entrances to the park and that had effectively locked out the jarveys since last October.

A recent High Court decision obliged the jarveys use the dung catchers in the 10,000-hectare park which is visited by more than a million people each year.
