Who is Billy Kelleher?

Party: Fianna Fáil

Constituency: Cork North-Central

Billy Kelleher is currently a Teachta Dála for the constituency of Cork North Central. Kelleher was first elected to Dáil Éireann in the 1997 general election and retained his seat both at the 2002 general election and 2007 general election. He is currently the Minister of State (with special responsibility for Labour Affairs). He was previously the assistant Government Chief Whip.

In January 2006 Kelleher became embroiled in a minor controversy when he was caught speeding outside Cashel, County Tipperary on his way to Dáil Éireann. He was fined and received two penalty points on his driving licence. The misdemeanour was particularly ironic as it came in the same week when the government was coming under fire for a poor road safety record.
