Councillor Michael Gleeson’s replacement will be announced next month.
Yesterday, the Kerry Independent Alliance councillor said he’s to retire from politics in June, bringing to an end a political career which started in 1983.
The former teacher and All-Ireland winner served on both Killarney Town Council and Kerry County Council, and ran unsuccessfully for Dáil Eireann.
