Kerry

When Senator Daly is not serving in Leinster House he can be found helping his community back in his home county of Kerry.  Raised in Kenmare, Senator Daly has deep Kerry roots. Mark’s mother Eileen is a long-standing activist in the local community and is descended from generations of O’Connors and O’Sullivans in the Kenmare, Lauragh and Blackwater areas. Marks father Sean Daly is from Tralee, Co. Kerry and is a recognised local athlete, sportsman and a great organiser.  The Daly's also have a family tradition of service in the armed forces, which continued with Mark’s uncle Austin who was a member of the FCA for many years. In 1989, Mark joined the local FCA Unit in Kenmare.

Mark attended local Secondary School Holy Cross College, during which time he led the organisation of the 75th anniversary of the 1916 Rising Celebrations in Kenmare Holy Cross College. 

​At the age of 26, Mark became the Chairman of his local Gaelic Athletic Association, the Kenmare Shamrock Hurling and Gaelic Football club, which was founded in 1886 and is home to All Ireland winning captain Mickey Ned O’Sullivan. On being made Chair Mark led a redevelopment programme which transformed the clubs' facilities to include a 32,000 square foot flood lit synthetic grass pitch with a sports complex, a basketball court, gym and dressing rooms.

Senator Daly has led several initiatives throughout County Kerry, including, the construction of Kenmare Hospital, saving the 
Marine Rescue Sub Centre on Valentia, and opening Kenmare Peninsula Park.
