Dara Calleary (born 10 May 1973) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo constituency since 2007.[1] He served as Minister of State for Labour Affairs and Public Service Transformation from 2009 to 2011.

Calleary lives in Ballina and was educated at St Oliver Plunkett National School and St Muredachs College in that town, and Trinity College, Dublin. He has been a member of the Fianna Fáil National Executive since 1997 and has served on party policy committees on Transport, Enterprise and Employment, Agriculture and Youth Affairs. He previously worked with Chambers Ireland, the largest business organisation in Ireland and also worked in an Irish bank.

Like many Irish politicians, Calleary is a member of a political dynasty. He is a son of Seán Calleary who was a TD for Mayo East from 1973 to 1992 and the grandson of Phelim Calleary who was elected a Member of the 14th Dáil for Mayo North at the 1952 by-election and served until retiring at the 1969 general election.

He was elected to Dáil Éireann at the 2007 general election.[2] In February 2008, Calleary was appointed chairman of Ógra Fianna Fáil by the then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern at the National Youth Conference in Tullamore, County Offaly. In 2007 Calleary chaired the first ever Ógra Fianna Fáil cumann meeting in Northern Ireland at Queen's University Belfast.

On 22 April 2009 he was appointed Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment with special responsibility for Labour Affairs. On 23 March 2010, following a cabinet reshuffle, responsibility for Public Service Transformation was added to his role.[3]

He is currently the Fianna Fáil spokesperson on Justice, Equality and Defence.
