John Kelly

I have lived and worked all my life in Roscommon, having served as a local Councillor and now as a Senator representing the people of Roscommon. There are encouraging signs that the economy is picking up. But I want to see more job creation and investment in Roscommon.

I will work tirelessly with Tánaiste Joan Burton on the creation of decent, sustainable local jobs and I am committed to supporting sustainable rural communities. I will also work with my Labour Party colleagues in government to ensure that medical cards are provided for those who need them most.

Senator John Kelly

A message from the Tánaiste Joan Burton TD 

Senator John Kelly and his family have deep roots in Roscommon and he has worked tirelessly on behalf of his local community over many years. John understands the challenges facing local families and small businesses across Roscommon . He has been a very active Senator and has campaigned, in particular, on a range of issues affecting rural communities and farming families.
