Healy-Rae hits back over ‘vicious’ letter campaign

AN angry Kerry Independent councillor has hit back at an allegedly dirty tricks campaign being waged against him and others members of his family.

Danny Healy-Rae has taken out advertisements in Kerry newspapers to respond to a “vicious campaign”, involving the circulation of anonymous letters, aimed at undermining his efforts to be re-elected.

Thousands of what was described as nasty, untrue letters detailing the earnings of the three politicians in the Healy-Rae family have been circulated, he says.
