First entering the Oireachtas as a senator in 1987, he was elected as a TD in 1992. He served until 2011 when he lost his seat in the general election. A Minister of State on a number of occasions, he is now a Dublin city councillor and is the son of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey.

I am a hard-working and accessible constituency representative with extensive experience of national and local government.
