22-2-2011: TRUE GRIT... South Kerry Independent candidate Michael Healy-Rae canvassing the traditional way on horseback with his father Jackie and daughter Rosie in the Gap of Dunloe, Killarney which is normally restricted to horse traffic. 80 years old Jackie joined Michael to canvas some of the most difficult terrain in the county in a bid to win the last votes on Tuesday. Deputy Healy-Rae is fighting an uphill battle according to the polls to retain his father's seat.
