The 2024 Rutherford Irish Parade Dignitaries - Grand Marshal Joe Kelly
Joseph was born and raised in the small parish of St. Margarets, County Dublin and has been in the States since the 1990’s. After meeting his Derry girl, Jackie after his arrival, the two married and moved their life to Rutherford to raise their three children; Charlie, Ciara, and Grace. He is proud to see them all be graduates of Rutherford High School and be given the opportunity to attend University, something he worked hard for them to be able to achieve.
Prior to his life in the States, Joe played Gaelic football growing up and represented his beloved County Dublin as a youth. His avid love for the game still rings true as he never misses a GAA game, rooting for both the men and women in blue, Up the Dubs!
To get involved in Rutherford athletics, Joe coached the Rutherford girls travel soccer team while his daughter Ciara was young, leading the team to Championships and great memories all while having fun. When he’s not watching GAA or soccer, he loves to root for the New York Rangers.
Many may know Joe from his days behind the bar, as his first job was at a local pub in Ireland, The Boot Inn. Established in 1608, the bar still stands as a great place to grab a pint of Guinness when visiting Ireland. Today Joe owns his own company, Joe Kelly Interiors, which has become one of the most well known and staple small businesses here in Rutherford. Through his years as a painter of many homes across the town and further the state, Joe has had the pleasure of greeting newcomers to the community and connecting them with long-time residents. This has led many neighbors and friends to feel blessed to have Joe as a welcoming face here in the Rutherford community which he holds so close to his heart.
Joe is a proud founding Trustee of the Rutherford Irish American Association and has been a staunch supporter of our organization since its inception.
If you are ever visiting the Emerald Isle be sure to chat with Joe first, as he is the best to provide travel advice, recommendations and to connect you with great people for the warmest of Irish welcomes!

Good Luck tomorrow Rory!!!! O’Byrne Cup - Dublin v Offaly - 1:30pm Gracefield (Offaly)
Our senior footballers are back in action for the first time this Saturday since last year’s All-Ireland Final win over Kerry, as they enter the Dioralyte O’Byrne Cup at the Quarter-Final stage against Offaly at Gracefield (1.30pm).
The competition allows Leinster counties to build up some momentum to take into the league season, which starts at the end of this month.
It also gives management the chance to take a look at their options, ahead of the Allianz Football League season - and in particular our very own Rory Dwyer!!!
After the recent tragic passing of one club legend - Ciaran Sutton - it's fitting that a possible new club legend dawns.
The competition format has changed from previous editions and is now a straight knock-out rather than featuring a group stage phase.
Dublin have won the O’Byrne Cup 10 times, with our most recent success coming in 2022.
Dessie Farrell’s men will take on Offaly in the quarter-finals, after the Faithful County beat Laois on Wednesday night in their Round 1 tie in Stradbally.
A Dylan Hyland goal was key in their 1-11 to 0-12 win midweek and Dublin will be aware of the threat that Hyland possesses after he was instrumental in Offaly’s win over Dublin in last year’s O’Byrne Cup, as he led the way on the scoring front with 0-05 to his name.
Offaly have won the competition six times, with their last O’Byrne Cup title coming in 1998.
Match tickets are available here.
The game will also be shown live on Clubber.
The winner of this quarter-final will play the winners of the other last-eight clash between Wexford and Kildare.
