Welcome to Irish Funds' New Council Members

Following the close of the Irish Funds Council Election last Wednesday and a thorough validation process, we are delighted to announce the newly elected members of the Irish Funds Members’ Council, who will serve a three-year term beginning this September.

Congratulations to our newly elected Council members:

  • Charlene Kennedy, PGIM Ireland,

  • Tom McGrath, BlackRock in the Asset Manager category, and

  • Etain de Valera, Dillon Eustace LLP in the Legal category.

The Members’ Council is a vital representative body for our membership and plays a central role in the governance of the Association, helping shape the direction and priorities of the Irish funds industry.

A sincere thank you to all candidates who stood for election – your commitment and willingness to serve are deeply appreciated and critical to the continued strength and vibrancy of our community.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to those completing their three-year terms on the Council: Sarahann Duff, Colm McDonagh, and Iain Ferguson. Your dedication and service have made a lasting impact.

And finally, thank you to all current Members’ Council members for your ongoing leadership and hard work on behalf of our industry.

We look forward to what we will accomplish together in the years ahead.
