Johnnie Wall was co-opted to Kerry County Council in 2020 on Norma Foley’s election to the Dáil.
He was first elected to the then Tralee Urban Council in 1985, and this is his seventh time being a mayor, and will be his final one, as he’s set to retire at next year’s local elections.
He has a number of priorities for the year ahead, including the covering of Tralee Square, which he feels will be a game changer.
