Key job for O’Donoghue in Kerry constituency

A meeting of Fianna Fáil in Tralee last night saw former ceann comhairle John O’Donoghue elected to one of the key positions in the new all-county organisation.

The meeting, chaired by the Listowel senator Ned O’Sullivan, also saw strong support for former TD Tom McEllistrim.

The meeting in the Brandon Hotel to decide on control of the organisation which will oversee the constituency for the next council and next Dáil elections in Kerry drew a crowd of over 300. Around 50 were expected.
