Peter Cleere (born 1982/1983) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency since the 2024 general election.

Sports

He was a hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.

Cleere made his first appearance for the team during the 2004 Walsh Cup and became a regular member of the team and panel over the following four seasons. During that time he won two All-Ireland winners' medals and two Leinster winners' medals as a non-playing substitute.

At club level Cleere plays with the Blacks and Whites club. Furthermore "Chap" as he was known on the field of play also managed the Kilkenny Senior Camogie Team and the Carlow Senior Camogie Team, who won their first National League Title in seven years under his stewardship.

Politics

He was first elected to Kilkenny County Council in 2014 representing the CallanThomastown area. He was elected chairperson of the council from 2019 to 2020. He also served as Chairman of Kilkenny-Carlow Education Training Board (KCETB) for several years and was Chairperson of Borris College.

At the 2024 general election, Cleere was elected to the Dáil for the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency.

Currently a Regional Business Development Manager with the Bank of Ireland, he is married with four children and lives in Graiguemanagh, County Kilkenny.
