A quarter of Kerry County Councillors surveyed by Radio Kerry say they feel pressure to attend funerals.
The anonymous poll conducted by Joe McGill for the Kerry Today show contacted 28 out of the 33 councillors on the local authority.
Joe spoke to Cllr Terry O’Brien who was happy to speak publicly about his views. Separately, he also questioned Cllr O’Brien – who is chair of Tralee Warriors Basketball Club – about Kieran Donaghy's view that Basketball Ireland should withdraw the national women’s team from its game against Israel.
