Early Life
Kennelly was born in Listowel in 1981 to mother Nuala and father Tim Kennelly, a former All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winner with Kerry. In Australia, Kennelly's first name, Tadhg in the Irish language, is often mispronounced as "Tie" or misspelt Tadgh, but is in fact correctly pronounced quite similarly to the first three letters of tiger and spelt with the h before the g.
Tadhg grew up playing Gaelic football and was recognised as a highly talented underage player with Kerry GAA.
His underage achievements include being on the Kerry underage squads that won the Munster Minor Football Championships in 1997 & 1998 and Munster U21 Championship in 1999.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
