Kerry’s newest county councillor has been elected as Cathaoirleach of the Kenmare Municipal District.
Fianna Fáil councillor Tommy Cahill is the new Cathaoirleach of the MD, taking over the role from his father Michael Cahill, who was elected to Dáil Éireann in November.
Cllr Cahill was co-opted onto his father’s seat on Kerry County Council in December.
