The Indo Daily · Unpacking the Healy-Rae family feud: A political dynasty divided? · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

And it went on to appeal, but it stands, the conviction and the suspended sentence stands.

It led on to other controversies because Jackie Healy Ray then went to work for his father as a ministerial advisor, so to speak.

And there were questions about can a person with such a conviction hold such an office, etc.

Well, Councillor Jackie Healy-Ray, he would argue that it was, you know, a one-off incident.

This is an example of revenge as a dish best eaten cold.

You didn't burst out the first day and go on the attack.

You know, you can't call this a head throw.

The two brothers have fallen out.

Presumably that strains relationships between the first cousins, the children, Michael's son, Jackie, and Danny's son and daughter, who are also counsellors.

It's all out there, but it will add considerable intrigue and spice to Kerry politics into the future.
