Thomas McEllistrim says he never approached Fianna Fáil about making a political comeback.
The former Kerry Fianna Fáil TD has confirmed he'll run as an independent in this summer's county council elections in the Tralee Electoral Area.
In an interview he gave last October, he told The Kerryman that he was considering running in the local elections and said while Fianna Fáil hadn't spoken to him yet, he'd be talking to everybody.
