Mr Coonan, who previously served in the role in 2020, was elected at this morning's AGM of the Kilkenny City Municipal District held in County Hall due to ongoing upgrade works at the Town Hall on High Street.
Mayor Coonan was first elected as a councillor on the Kilkenny Corporation in 1994, and later to Kilkenny County Council. The local councillor has held a number of voluntary roles in the community including as Chairperson of the Kilkenny Age Friendly Seniors Forum.
