"Every dog and divil in Kerry" knows that a man who pleaded guilty to election fraud works for a business owned by members of the Healy-Rae family, the Seanad has been told.
Fine Gael senator Mike Kennelly today accused a man — who last week avoided a conviction for voting in last year's local elections using a polling card that was not in his name — of being an employee of Healy-Rae Plant Hire.
