Performance in local election has O’Flynns eyeing Dáil

The first shots have been fired in the political battle for the Dáil seat of MEP-elect Billy Kelleher.

Former Fianna Fáil TD Noel O’Flynn said he expects his son, local election poll-topper Cllr Ken O’Flynn, to be selected to contest for the vacant seat in Cork North Central once Kelleher’s election to the European Parliament is formally declared following the marathon recount in Ireland South.
