A Castleisland councillor has received a date for a High Court judicial review into how two county councillors were appointed to the board of a local development network body.
Independent councillor Charlie Farrelly took legal action against Kerry County Council after Fianna Fáil’s Mikey Sheehy and Fine Gael’s Mike Kennelly were elected to the North East West Kerry Development Board.
Cllr Farrely claimed the larger parties abused a grouping system used for voting.

Justice Charles Meenan put a stay on the nominations until the full case is heard.
