Mayor wants outright ban on sulky racing in Kilkenny city & county

Posted on

Andrew McGuinness says he has sought the advise of the Agriculture Minister who told him that councils have the power to bring in bye-laws to prevent people from having horses in designated areas.

It follows a number of serious incidents locally some of which resulted in the death of horses on busy main roads.

The Mayor says this has gone on long enough.
