O’Donoghue’s brother to make way for return

A brother of former Fianna Fáil cabinet minister John O’Donoghue is expected to step aside from the forthcoming local elections to make way for the return of the former minister to politics.

Councillor Paul O’Donoghue, Fianna Fáil whip on Kerry County Council, has not denied talk that he will not contest the May local elections.

John O’Donoghue, 57, a former tánaiste, has already made it clear he wishes to get back to Dáil Éireann.
