FF: Make Kerry a five-seat constituency

FIANNA FÁIL has called for Kerry constituencies to be redrawn as a single five-seater in the next general election — resulting in the loss of one of the county’s six TDs.

The proposed abolition of the two three-seaters, Kerry North and Kerry South, is one of a number of controversial suggestions made by the Government party in its submission to the Constituency Commission.

Past experience shows Fianna Fáil’s submissions are highly influential when it comes to redrawing constituency boundaries.
