Eithne FitzGerald

Eithne FitzGerald

Eithne FitzGerald (born in 1950) is an Irish economist and former Labour Party politician.

She was elected in the 1992 general election to the 27th Dáil, as Teachta Dála (TD) for Dublin South. Her tally of first preference votes was the greatest number that any candidate in the country received on that occasion. Labour entered into a coalition government with Fianna Fáil, and Fitzgerald was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of Finance in January 1993.

When the Labour Party withdrew from that coalition in 1994, a new "Rainbow coalition" was formed between Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Democratic Left. She was transferred to the post of Minister of State at the Office of the Tánaiste and Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise and Employment, where she served until the coalition government was defeated at the 1997 general election.

FitzGerald lost her own seat at that election, being replaced by Fine Gael's Olivia Mitchell.

She is married to John D. FitzGerald.
