Kerry: Healy-Raes top polls in adjacent areas

Not even the rise of Sinn Féin, which took the last seat in South and West Kerry and out-polled Labour in the Killarney area, could dwarf the gigantic performance of the Healy-Rae organisation.

Independents and father and son Danny and Johnny Healy-Rae topped the poll in the adjoining areas of Killarney and South and West Kerry, massively increasing their vote.

Danny Healy-Rae polled a staggering 4,388 votes, more than two quotas.
