Outgoing Fianna Fáil TD Billy Kelleher is a general election candidate in Cork North-Central. Having topped the polls in the constituency in 2007, the 43-year-old was rewarded with a junior ministry by then-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, serving as Minister of State with responsibility for Labour Affairs. Kelleher remained in favour following Brian Cowen's cabinet reshuffle in 2009 and has handled the portfolio for trade and commerce since then.
Typical Keleher half truths
In Cork they call Him Billy Bluster. I think Billy Bullshit would be more appropriate
Is a certain Tom Coughlan still Billy’s best buddy and campaign manager? isn’t it strange that the Minister for jobs hangs around with a self-styled developer who has caused so many people to lose their jobs?
