Cllr Aoife Kennelly

“My priority as a Councillor is to represent the people of Kerry with honesty and action. Affordable housing is at the top of my agenda—I believe everyone deserves the chance to live securely and affordably in their own community. I’m also passionate about improving local infrastructure, from roads and transport to broadband access, so that families, workers, and businesses can thrive. Supporting local jobs, protecting public services, and ensuring that Kerry remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family are at the heart of everything I do. I’m here to listen, to work hard, and to deliver.

“With a background in Second Level Education, I’ve developed a practical, problem-solving approach that I now bring to my role as Councillor. Growing up in North Kerry in a strong Fine Gael family, I’ve always had a deep interest in public service and community. I’m also passionate about sport, both as a player and supporter, and I believe in the power of sport to bring people together and strengthen communities. My background in education and my local roots have given me a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our area.
