Kennedy looks to be an inspiration

Tracey Kennedy is keen to ensure that she doesn’t turn out to be the only woman to sit on the executive of the Cork County Board.

Elected as PRO three years ago, Kennedy, a member of Killeagh GAA Club, was ratified as vice-chairman at yesterday’s convention, having defeated Richard Murphy of Lyre. In her acceptance, she mentioned the desire to get more women involved and expanded upon that afterwards.

“When I became PRO, it wasn’t something I had thought about a lot,” she said.
