Delight as councillor changes his colours

IRELAND’S first openly gay councillor has made a drastic change in his political preferences.

Cllr Peter Kelly, who started his political life as a member of the Progressive Democratic, and who then defected to Fine Gael, has now joined Labour.

The Douglas man, who became leader of Fine Gael in Ireland’s largest local authority, Cork County Council, recently emigrated to New Zealand, where he changed his political allegiance again.
