Seán Ó Fearghail
(Former Ceann Comhairle automatically elected)
Fianna Fáil (Kildare South)
Proof that persistence pays off, Fianna Fail's Seán Ó Fearghaíl was only elected to the Dáíl in 2002 on his fifth attempt. Prior to that he was a county councillor and senator, a Dublin Corporation employee and part-time farmer. For the last two governments, he has been ceann comhairle or chair of the Dáil, responsible for keeping order in the chamber, progressing the day's agenda, calling the votes and using his casting vote in the event of a tie. Recently recovered from cancer, he has declared himself fit and eager to run again although he will not do another stint as ceann comhairle. He is automatically returned to the Dáil.
