NORMA Foley of Fianna Fail has been elected to the County Council for the Tralee Electoral Area in the past hour.
There were jubilant scenes when the result was announced around 10.40am, following the distribution of Toireasa Ferris’ surplus, where she got an extra 139 votes to bring her to 1,680.
It was much more comfortable for the Tralee woman this time around.
In the 2009 election she only got past the post on the 12th count.
Speaking after her election, Cllr Foley thanked her supporters and said Fianna Fail are slowly rebuilding the relationship with the electorate.
