A scanned page from the ESB REO magazine about the Fenit Rural AreaThis digital scan from the REO News displays the following text:

"Post development is proceeding apace in all Districts but we will be forgiven if we select Tralee District for special mention. In the three areas, Ballymacelligott, Fenit and Ardfert, the number of additional consumers obtained on post development are 128, 80 and 166 respectively. There were a number of backsliders in these areas when originally developed. The new consumers will however, more than compensate for these."
