Healy-Raes cap it all with big day

One of the biggest weddings ever witnessed in Kerry saw a member of the famous Healy-Rae political dynasty tie the knot with his long-time sweetheart on Saturday.

Johnny Healy-Rae, who followed his grandfather, father and uncle into politics when he was co-opted to Kerry County Council last year, exchanged nuptial vows with Caroline O’Mahony in the Holy Cross Church in Kenmare, with Fr Kevin McNamara and Fr Donal O’Neill presiding.

More than 800 guests later celebrated with the newlyweds at a lavish reception in the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney. It was one of the biggest crowds at any wedding ever held in the county.
