Biography
First elected as a Kerry county councillor in 1999, he won a Dáil seat in 2011, succeeding his father Jackie Healy-Rae. He is opposed to stricter controls on drink-driving as he feels it negatively affects people in isolated rural communities and is an active campaigner in his local area.
Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I have proven that having an independent voice for Kerry representing its people in the Dáil is of important benefit to the people of the county.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
To ensure that there is employment for everybody who is able to work and that no one leaves the country because they have to.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I would continue to do exactly what I am doing now and that is representing the people to the best of my availability at all times.
