I’m ahead of my timeline and anticipating a photocall to advertise the forthcoming Smithfield Fleadh when I glance in my automobile mirror and catch sight of the rear of a four-wheeled cart moving by silently, absent the hallmark clippity-clop of a horse-drawn cart. Upon closer examination, as the cart makes its way through Smithfield Plaza, it becomes apparent that a man in shorts is pulling the vintage cart behind him.

A prior marathon runner and fundraiser for the children’s hospital at Temple Street, Padser Harris (71), who originally hails from Smithfield and currently resides in Ballyfermot, has had horses in his life for as long as he can remember. Padser takes pride in stating that he is the oldest active jarvey in Dublin city and has been taking tourists around the city to view the attractions in his horse-drawn carriage for over three decades.
