4 of them have served on Kerry County Council, contesting and winning every election to Kerry County Council since Fine Gael was founded.
Patrick Connor Scarteen also served in Seanad Eireann and Dail Eireann. His brothers Tom and John were Captain and Brigadier General of the Free State Army until they were killed in their house in Kenmare on 9th September 1922.
In 1976 the O formally removed from the name so they be higher up the ballot paper.
