Row over access to Tralee lands for coursing is resolved
Summary
In a High Court case, the County Kerry Coursing Club and Ballybeggan Park Company Limited resolved a dispute over access to the former Tralee Racecourse grounds for hare coursing. The club had been locked out of Ballybeggan Park since 18 June after new locks were installed, prompting the club to sue the company. The court heard that the club, the largest shareholder, claimed the company had no right to deny sporting access and alleged a sale of the land for €5 m was undervalued. The company denied wrongdoing, citing security concerns and a desire to frustrate the sale. After negotiations outside court, Mr Justice Brian O'Moore was informed the parties had settled amicably. The settlement was based on conditions to be fulfilled, and the court adjourned the case generally, allowing re‑entry if needed. No further details were disclosed.
