Kelly linked with Fine Gael after Collins oration
Mr Kelly called on politicians to put civil war bitterness behind them and spoke about other issues such as power-sharing in the north, gun crime and society’s treatment of the elderly.
The speech, at such a symbolic event in the Fine Gael calendar, could be seen as a signal of his intention to stand for the party in next year’s European elections, something that has been rumoured, but not confirmed, by the party or Mr Kelly.
