Eric takes the reins as he receives first jarvey licence to be advertised in generations
A
AFTER dozens of people applied for the first jarvey licence to be advertised in Killarney in years, Eric Lynch has taken the reins as the successful applicant.
Eric, from Ardshanavooley Estate, Killarney, was the lucky winner drawn from 66 applications, and is pictured here with his grandfather Councillor Donal Grady.
This was the first hackney horse and carriage licence to have been publicly advertised in generations and such was the level of interest that the successful applicant was drawn by lot.
Some 66 applications were deemed “valid” and the opportunity to drive a horse and carriage for hire to Ross Castle and down by Lough Léin for an annual licence fee of €65 was offered to the first name drawn.
The single licence is one of just 37 Killarney town jarvey licences.
