Mayor to seek city status for Tralee with motion

Fianna Fail Cllr Thomas McEllistrim, who is the current cathaoirleach or mayor of Tralee, said city status for Tralee was one of his priorities when elected as mayor and there was no good reason, as far as he was concerned, why it should not be effected.
āOn population grounds alone why shouldnāt Tralee be designated a city when Kilkenny is?ā Cllr McEllistrim said.
