A residents’ association, whose homes are adjacent to Killarney Racecourse, has been ordered not to interfere with the right of way for horses going to and from the races this week.

Ex parte orders granted to Killarney Race Course Company at the Circuit Civil Court in Tralee on Friday restrain the residents of Castle Falls from obstructing the horses on foot on their way to and from the stable yard.
