Kelly was first elected to Roscommon County Council in 2004 as an independent and was re-elected to the body in June 2009. His only previous general election campaign was in 2007 when he gained almost 10 per cent of the vote in Roscommon-South Leitrim. He currently works as a Community Welfare Officer for the Ballaghaderreen area.



      Policies

      • Jobs- we need new thinking to create jobs and to keep the ones we have
