EXCLUSIVE

Cllr Donal Grady met his first-born great-grandchild for the first time this week.
The long-serving councillor, who is also steeped in Killarney fire brigade history, met baby Thomas O’Grady Mangan at his Ardshanavooley home earlier this week.
Baby Thomas is the first-born child to Donal’s grandson Denis Mangan and his partner Johanna Fleming, who is the daughter of former town councillor Tom Fleming.
Denis is the son of Donal’s daughter Joan and her husband Paudie Mangan, Killarney’s Chief Fire Officer and he is their first grandchild too.
When asked if Donal would prepare Thomas for a career in politics or the fire services he said: “All the frameworks are there but he can be anything he wants to be – he can be president if he wants and we will encourage Thomas to believe that he can be anything he wants to be.”
