Election Podcast: Conor Bergin, James Kelly, Ollie Clooney, John Joe Fennelly, Joey Kennedy, Aaron Kelly and John Moloney

Day 2 of the 2024 Local Elections in Laois are ongoing and we now finally have a few results.

Before the first count was announced, Alan Hartnett joined Steven Miller.

The pair reflected on the first two days of the Local Elections and what has, or hasn’t, happened thus far.

And Steven also caught up with a number of the candidates who are contesting seats.

Independent James Kelly was up first as he looks set to be re-elected in the Borris-In-Ossory-Mountmellick area.

We are also joined by fellow Independent candidate Ollie Clooney who is likely to do the same in the same area.

Fianna Fail’s John Joe Fennelly is in a similar position in the Portlaoise area and gives his thoughts.

Aaron Kelly (Sinn Fein) and Joey Kennedy (Fianna Fail) are unlikely in Graiguecullen-Portarlington and they speak about their experience.

Former Fianna Fail TD John Moloney also joins in on the episode.
