WITH a full recount called for in the Adare Rathekeale electoral area by Independent candidate Patrick C Fitzgerald, the thrills and spills of Election 2014 continue to the throw up surprises and new faces to the equally as new merged single authority in Limerick.
Three seats remain to be filled after Independent candidate Emmett O’Brien (IND), Tom Neville and Stephen Keary, both Fine Gael, all made the requirement.
