Toireasa Ferris

Toireasa Ferris (born 1980) is an Irish Sinn Féin politician. She was the chairperson of Kerry County Council from 2005 to 2006. Her father, Martin Ferris, is a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) for Kerry North. She holds a Masters Degree from the University of Ulster.

Controversial interview

In February 2006, she appeared on The Late Late Show and in an interview with Pat Kenny said she did not have the authority to condemn the killing of Garda Jerry McCabe in Adare in 1996. This interview also caused comment because her "knee-length" skirt hiked up when she crossed her legs. She subsequently survived a vote of no confidence by Kerry County Council.
