The newly elected TD for Kerry, Michael Cahill, says Fianna Fáil will decide who will replace him on Kerry County Council.
His election to the Dáil leaves his local government seat vacant which will be filled by a co-opted representative.
Following the 2020 general election, Sinn Féin councillor Deirdre Ferris was co-opted onto the council to fill Pa Daly’s seat while Johnnie Wall filled the Fianna Fáil seat left vacant by Norma Foley.
