Political families of Ireland
There is a tradition in Irish politics of having family members succeed each other, frequently in the same parliamentary seat. This article lists families where two or more members of that family have been members (TD or Senator) of either of the houses of theOireachtas (Dáil Éireann andSeanad Éireann ) or of theEuropean Parliament . It also includes members of the Oireachtas who had a relation who served in theHouse of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801–1922) for an Irish constituency. It does not include people who have served only onlocal councils .
For the purposes of this list, a "family" has been defined as a group of people where each person has one of the following relationships to at least one of the other people listed:
son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter father, mother, grandfather or grandmother nephew, niece, grandnephew or grandniece uncle, aunt, great uncle or great aunt sibling or first cousin spouse (husband or wife) connected by marriage ("-in-law" relationships) The list has been indexed against the name of the first family member to enter the Oireachtas.
