Healy-Rae faces conflict of interest probe

It arises from a motion by Mr Healy-Rae at the council’s September meeting where he called on the council to resume a hedge-cutting programme, while at the same time tendering for hedge-cutting work as a contractor.

The complaint has been made by Killarney Ind Cllr Brendan Cronin, who has previously clashed with Mr Healy-Rae, a son of Dáil Deputy Jackie Healy-Rae, over conflict of interest claims.
