Farmer settles right-of-way action with Healy-Rae

A DISPUTE over a right-of-way between Kerry county councillor Danny Healy-Rae and a neighbouring farmer has been settled at the Circuit Court in Killarney.

It comes as it emerged the DPP has directed that there be no prosecution arising from complaints of alleged assault last May.

Mr Healy-Rae, described as a publican and farmer, of Main Street, Kilgarvan, was the defendant in a civil action brought by Kieran Traynor, occupier of lands at Gortnaboul, Kilgarvan.
