Irish Peasants, and the Jaunting or “Outside Car” Jaunting cars were light carts once used as a primary mode of transportation in Ireland. You can still take a “Jarvey” ride in many parts of the country as a scenic tour. Killarney has a notable number of jaunting car drivers thanks to their picturesque lakes.
