Senator Mark Daly

Before being elected as a Senator, Mark worked on election campaigns to the European Parliament for Brian Crowley MEP in 1994, 1999, 2004, and 2009 as a member of his Strategy Committee. Mark was elected as Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann in 2020 and again in 2025.

At the age of 26, he 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 chairman, Mark led a redevelopment programme which transformed the club's facilities to include a 32,000 square foot floodlit synthetic grass pitch with a sports complex, a basketball court, gym, and dressing rooms.
