A judge has dismissed part of an action by a company aimed at securing extra licences for horse-drawn carriages around Killarney.
Killarney Jaunting Cars Ltd claimed Kerry County Council had failed to deal with its request. The company said it asked Killarney Town Council in 2012 about obtaining extra licences. Its request had not been decided, it claimed.
It sought orders directing the council to annually determine the number of licences for horse-drawn hackney carriages in accordance with law. It alleged there was an unlawful failure to deal with its applications.
Mr Justice Max Barrett dismissed parts of the action and adjourned the matter to allow the sides consider his decision.
