Jarveys seek direct access to Killarney National Park

A call has been made to give Killarney’s famed jarveys improved access to the town’s national park in a move to help ease traffic congestion.

Road damage and regular traffic hold-ups on the Kerry town’s Mission Road prompted a demand by Independent councillor Donal Grady for a more direct access, for jarveys, into the top tourist attraction.

With a long family association with the jarvey trade, Mrr Grady said access could be eased and damage to roads reduced if an entrance was created through a wall, beside the existing purpose-built jarvey island.
