MICHAEL Healy Rae expressed his thanks to the people of Tralee for their votes and said he and his brother will be fighting for the town when they take their places in the Dail.

Despite coming from the south of the county, Michael polled over 4,000 first preference votes in the area, second only to Martin Ferris’ vote.

Speaking to TraleeToday.ie in the wake of his brother Danny’s election this morning, Michael thanked the people of Tralee and said the work starts now.

“I’m deeply indebted to the people of Tralee as indeed I am to people in all other areas of the county. We’d an army of canvassers in the town and we visited every house. We had Sam Locke, the respected and hardworking councillor, with me who was a big addition and other individuals who really put the shoulder to the wheel for me,” he said.

As regards the future, we asked him what can he do for the town.

“I see an awful lot of things that need to be addressed in Tralee. Unemployment is a big issue and there are too many vacant shop units in the town centre. We’ll have to put our heads together to revitalise the town centre. I, along with the team with me, will work tremendously hard for the people of Tralee. There’s problems and things to be done and it all starts now,” he said.
