FIRST-TIME candidate Pa Daly was overwhelmed with the vote he received in the Tralee Electoral Area elections to Kerry County Council.
He was elected on the first count last night along with his Sinn Fein party colleague, Toireasa Ferris, who topped the poll.
The Tralee solicitor garnered 2,122 first preference votes and said the party’s strategy of leaving the town to him and outside Tralee to Cllr Ferris, paid dividends.
Cllr Daly spoke to TraleeToday.ie after his election at the count centre in John Mitchels GAA Complex, and first gave his reaction to the size of his vote. (see video)
