Kathy Sinnott (Kelly; born 29 September 1950) is a disability rights activist and politician who served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the South constituency from 2004 to 2009.

Sinnott was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1950.

In 2001, the High Court ruled that every person in Ireland had a constitutional right to free appropriate primary education based on need.

The judgment confirmed that this was a fundamental right which was not limited by the availability of resources.

The government did not challenge the High Court decision for children 18 years and younger, but successfully appealed its application to persons over 18 years of age in the Supreme Court.

2002

She had stood previously at the 2002 general election for a seat in the Cork South-Central constituency, and narrowly lost the fifth and final seat to John Dennehy of Fianna Fáil.

In the election count, she was initially ahead by 3 votes but lost by 6 votes after two recounts.

She was an unsuccessful candidate at the subsequent Seanad Éireann election, after she had been nominated by four sitting independent TDs, losing out by three votes to a Fine Gael candidate.

She required a High Court judgment to allow her to run for the Seanad on the Labour Panel.

She is a former co-chair of the European Parliament's Eurosceptic Independence/Democracy group.

Sinnott was a member and vice-president of the EUDemocrats – Alliance for a Europe of Democracies.

2004

On 21 September 2009, her son Kevin drowned in a swimming accident in the US state of Georgia.

He was a final year philosophy student at the Southern Catholic College in Dawsonville, Georgia.

2012

In 2012, Sinnott campaigned against the Children's referendum, claiming it would "lock in" the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to the Irish Constitution and claiming that a "child is six times more likely to die in care at the hands of the State, than in the care of their parents."

Her statistics drew criticism from the Minister Leo Varadkar who labelled them "incredible" and "made up."
