Killarney Jaunting Cars Ltd licence action partly dismissed

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Killarney Jaunting Cars Ltd had part of its licence action dismissed by the court. The proceedings were reported on 23 October 2015. The company sought additional licences for horse-drawn carriage tours around Killarney, while Kerry County Council denied wrongdoing and argued that traffic and capacity justified limiting licences to 37. Mr Justice Max Barrett found no evidence of breaches of natural and constitutional justice, or that the council had acted outside its powers. He also said it appeared from the evidence that the company and some other jarveys were not in possession of a current licence, and that the parties should “pay careful heed” to that. He adjourned the matter to the following month so the parties could consider his decision.
