Kerry appoints county manager

A NATIVE of Kerry has been installed as its county manager.

The appointment of engineer Tom Curran as the new county manager was warmly welcomed at yesterday’s Kerry County Council meeting.

A native of Caherciveen and a UCC graduate, Mr Curran had been acting county manager, since February, following the departure of his predecessor, Martin Riordan, who has taken up the manager’s position with Cork County Council.
