From the 1999 local elections a leaflet for Labour candidate Don Culloty running for a seat on Killarney UDC. He polled 138 votes and failed to be elected. I’m curious if he is any relation to former Jockey and now Trainer Jim Culloty.
The leaflet also mentions that Breeda Moynihan Cronin and Andrew McCarthy are running for the County Council, that Sean Counihan is the other Labour candidate for the UDC and that Paula Desmond is running for Europe.
From the 2009 Local Elections in Kerry. Poll topper in Killorglin LEA, Michael Healy-Rae, son of the sitting TD Jackie Healy-Rae.
‘I earnestly ask for your NO 1 VOTE Please -or you next highest preference’ writes Michael.
The thing that also strikes me about the leaflet is that when reading it I can hear Michael Healy-Raes voice saying most of the text.
I also see that Michael is a member of the HSE.
Former Workers Party candidate Sean O’Grady from the 1999 local elections for Killarney UDC. He was elected.

Fianna Fails Tom Doherty from the 1999 Local Elections in Kerry. Doherty was running for both Kerry County Council and Killarney UDC. He was elected to neither.
Looking at the manifesto the call for the increase in the first time buyers grant and re-construction grant shows that the Property boom had started and even then there were those needing a helping hand getting on the property ladder.
Michael Courtney from the 1999 Local Elections in Killarney where he was elected to the Town Council.
How special one must have felt when this arrived in the post, with an almost personal message from Bertie too.
Breeda Moynihan Cronin, Labour TD for Kerry South from 1992 until 2007 and Andrew McCarthy running in the 1999 Local Elections in Killarney.
Breeda Moynihan-Cronin won a seat and with the deemise of the Dual Mandate in 2003 Andrew McCarthy was co-opted onto the Council.
