The family of a woman who died when her pony and trap smashed onto rocks at the Gap of Dunloe is to sue Kerry County Council. Solicitors acting for Ms Few’s daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren first lodged a claim against the council with the Personal Injuries Assessment Board last Aug. Adrian Hegarty, who acts for Ms Few’s family and the deceased couple’s estate, said: “I will be issuing proceedings as soon as the courts re-open fully. They were there as rescuers, including Mr Walthers, frantically tried to lift the cart off the stricken couple. And brakes on pony traps would be effective.”A Kerry County Council spokesperson said: "It is the policy of Kerry County Council not to comment on existing or ongoing legal proceedings."
