Ferris family make return to Kerry politics as two new councillors co-opted onto County Council

Two new councillors have been co-opted onto Kerry County Council to fill seats vacated by the election of two TDs from Tralee.

The co-opting of Deirdre Ferris, the daughter of former Sinn Féin TD Martin Ferris, and the younger sister of former councillor and mayor of Kerry Toireasa Ferris, marks a return of the Ferris family to politics.
