A High Court judge has urged the parties involved in six actions brought by the family of an American couple who died after their pony and trap plunged down a steep rocky ravine in the Gap of Dunloe, Killarney, Co. Kerry, to enter mediation talks.

The cases were due to kick off at the High Court next week but the court has been asked to adjourn the trial of the actions to next October. Kerry County Council said two of the engineers on its side would not be available to give evidence in the last two weeks in July.
