Economy the overriding issue for voters across constituency
Mirroring other constituencies throughout the country, the economic crisis and the lack of jobs are the primary concerns being raised on the doorsteps, with all other issues placed on the slow burner and held in storage for another time.
With well in excess of 17,000 on the live register in the county and few if any prospects of employment opportunities on the horizon, despairing voters in the key South Kerry towns of Killarney, Kenmare, Killorglin, Castleisland and Caherciveen have insisted enough is enough and they want a change of government in the hope that it will improve work opportunities.
