Election candidates in M&S U-turn

TWO candidates are preparing to do a U-turn on a retail store controversy which has become an emerging election issue in north Kerry.

A Church of Ireland rector has joined in a public backlash against a town council decision not to allow Marks and Spencer (M&S) open an out-of-town store in Tralee.

Canon Robert Warren said Tralee should have been honoured to have been selected by M&S for a new store.
