In his first term of office following election on an Independent ticket in 2017, Cllr Leonard Kelly is honoured with the title Mayor of Wexford which was bestowed on him at the annual general meeting of Wexford Borough District Council.
The Clonard-man had unsuccessfully contested the 2014 local election and the 2016 general election and his main priority is “to support and strengthen the community.”
Mayor Kelly said; “We need to unify the Borough, work together, and put our best foot forward for the town and county of Wexford.”
Sinn Fein’s Cllr Thomas Forde, who was co-opted into Wexford County Council in place of retiring Cllr Anthony Kelly in 2017, holds the position of Deputy Mayor.
