Kevin Burke

Waterford County Council

Waterford City South

Born and raised in Kilcohan, at 29 years old my story is typical of a young man from Waterford. My journey from finding work after the Leaving Certificate to a Masters Degree in Engineering has been coupled with a commitment to the community that raised me. My personal experience has given me a unique perspective on the challenges of austerity and mental health. Currently working as a Project Manager, I understand the importance of innovation, efficiency, and accessibility — principles I want to bring to the Council, with your help. As a proud Erin’s Own man and former player with St Saviours FC & Waterford City RFC, I advocate for the power of sport in youth development and community cohesion.
