She was born Treasa Kennedy in 1939 or 1940 near Lispole on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland.[1][2][3] In 1958 she joined the Religious Sisters of Charity.[2] Initially based in Kilkenny, Ireland she would in time move to Dublin where she is best known for having founded, in 1985, the charity Focus Ireland,[4] which eventually became the largest voluntary organisation in Ireland other than the Legion of Mary.[citation needed] She attended University College Dublin and graduated with a Master of Social Science degree in 1980.[5] In 2001, she also set up the Immigrant Council of Ireland (ICI) as a response to the social needs of new immigrants living in Ireland.[6][7] In 1997 she was appointed to the Council of State and served until 2004.
In 2014, she was awarded the UCD Alumni Award for Social Sciences.[8]
Kennedy is the author of six books published by Transworld Ireland, including her autobiography The Road Home, which contains a foreword written by former President of Ireland Mary McAleese.[2]
