The inquests into the deaths of two US tourists who were both killed after their pony and trap plunged 15ft down a steep rocky ravine in the Gap of Dunloe in Killarney, Co Kerry, heard how the spot where the couple died was “treacherous”.

There was no barrier or wall between the edge of the road and the steep rocky ravine — and no barrier had been erected since the incident which claimed the lives of Rosalyn Joy Few, 64, and her partner Normand Larose, 62, in April 2018.
