Support bypass or else, says TD

INDEPENDENT TD Jackie Healy-Rae is demanding a commitment to provide funding for the proposed €160 million Tralee bypass in return for his continuing support for Government.

With the Government’s majority getting slender almost by the day, the Kerry South deputy yesterday indicated he will be pressing strongly for certain projects to be undertaken throughout the county.

“I have a number of things they (government) must do for me,” he said.
