Jackie Healy-Rae’s appeal of his suspended sentence for assault is set to be heard in Killarney next month.

The Kerry county councillor, along with his brother Kevin of Sandymount, Kilgarvan, were convicted of two charges of assaulting Kieran James on December 28th 2017 in Kenmare.

They’re sons of Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae.
