Grace O’Donnell
Grace O’Donnell is a former Mayor of Tralee and a Fine Gael candidate in the General Election in the Kerry constituency.
She has an exceptionally strong record in the voluntary sector:
- Co-founder Kare4Kids (supports families with sick children)
- The Recovery Haven (Cancer support)
- Kerry Life Skills (Future health and wellbeing of children)
- Tralee Rotary Club
- The Kerry Camino (Promotes Kerry walks)
- Tralee Chamber Alliance

“I think my record in the voluntary and political sectors make me a credible candidate. I believe that I can advance the causes that are important to me, and people like me.
“The biggest source of inequality and unfairness in this country is unemployment. More jobs mean less tax for people working and more revenue to provide better services.
“This Fine Gael led Government has added 125,000 jobs since the launch of the Action Plan for Jobs in February 2012. Jobs are the best way out of poverty.
“Budget 2016 is proof positive that Fine Gael is committed to securing and spreading the recovery. The USC has been cut and 700,000 people removed from charge.
“The Government has begun to equalise the tax treatment of the self employed. There are measures to help families with childcare and GP visits for under 12’s. The minimum wage has been increased and there is hep for pensioners. The budget helps farming families and entrepreneurs.
“Fine Gael is doing its very best to spread the benefits of recovery to as many homes as possible and I am proud to be a Party General Election candidate in Kerry.”
