Me Kelleher gave this reaction after his election.
He said: "Elated, honoured, humbled - it's democracy in action, isn't it.
"It's a wonderful feeling to be selected by your peers, by your citizens, the neighbours you know, the neighbours you don't know.
"People from across the constituency that you've never met - so it's a really humbling experience being quite truthful, and an emotional one".
