Fined horse dealer describes wife as his ‘third mare’

A Gap of Dunloe horse trader who is seeking extra time to pay a fine described his wife as a potential “third mare” to help pay off his fine to the baffled amusement of Killarney District Court yesterday.

Pat Ferris, aged 50, of Dunloe, Beaufort, Killarney, is due to pay a fine of €2,500.

His solicitor Padraig O’Connell said his client wished an extension of time to pay the fine imposed by the court in Dec 2012 in relation to a Revenue/Customs matter.
