Niamh Fennell

South Dublin County Council

Palmerstown - Fonthill

Born and raised in North Clondalkin, I was educated in Clonburris NS and then Coláiste Bríde. I studied Community and Youth Work at Maynooth University and graduated with a Bachelor of Social Science in 2021. I have volunteered in a number of non-for-profit organisations since I was 15, including youth mental health services, youth services, and community development projects. I am currently a volunteer and Leader with a local Girl Guides group. I am very passionate about advocacy for mental health services and ensuring that youth voices are heard, and that we give due weight to the opinions and ideas of our young people. I am currently working in a youth mental health organisation where I deliver health promotion activities in community settings.
