Limerick TD furious at ‘land grab’ by Kerry constituencies

A CO Limerick TD has hit out at attempts to retain two Dáil constituencies in Kerry, saying it could only be done at the expense of his county.

Patrick O’Donovan (FG) has told the constituency commission county that boundaries should be respected and west Limerick should be “transferred back to its native county”.

He has also hit out at a submission by the Kerry South TD Michael Healy-Rae, accusing him of attempting “a land grab” in seeking to retain six TDs across two constituencies in neighbouring Kerry.
