** Tributes to pro-life TDs Éamon Ó Cuív and Peter Fitzpatrick who retired in 2024
------------------------------------------------------------
While we can all take pride in the impressive votes of pro-life candidates in the most recent general election, including the election of new pro-life TDs such as Aontú’s Paul Lawless and Independent Ireland’s Ken O’Flynn, we should also take time to recognise the considerable contribution to the pro-life cause by two outstanding TDs who did not contest the most recent elections. Former minister and long-serving Galway West TD Éamon Ó Cuív (Fianna Fáil) and independent TD for Louth Peter Fitzpatrick both contributed immensely to advancing pro-life issues during their respective political service.
** Éamon Ó Cuív TD
------------------------------------------------------------
Éamon Ó Cuív has had a high-profile and lengthy political career. As the grandson of Éamon de Valera, politics was written in his DNA! A Gaeilgeoir passionately committed to the Irish language and the economic development of the Gaeltacht, Éamon Ó Cuív was first elected to the Seanad in 1989. His career in the upper house of the Oireachtas was brief, as Éamon was elected to the Dáil for Galway West in 1992 and served as a TD for the constituency without a break until his retirement this year. Extremely popular in Galway West, his seat was seen as one of the “safest” in Ireland. Even in 2011, Fianna Fáil’s worst election since its foundation which saw many prominent government politicians ousted, Éamon Ó Cuív was comfortably returned to the Dáil.

** Peter Fitzpatrick TD
------------------------------------------------------------
As bainisteoir of the Louth Gaelic football team, Peter Fitzpatrick took the county far and brought Louth to their first Leinster final in almost 50 years. In a 2010 match against Meath, Louth lost by a whisker due to an infamous last minute “goal” by Meath’s Joe Sheridan which still raises the hackles of GAA fans in Louth to this day. In 2011, Peter was asked by Fine Gael to stand in the Louth constituency for the general election. Although a newcomer to politics, Peter was more than willing to represent his county in a new capacity and was duly elected as a TD during that year’s seismic election.

** “Why are we being sold this lie every single day?”
------------------------------------------------------------
“This 4th Wave Feminism is not the feminism that got us the right to vote. This 4th Wave Feminism is a lie. It’s the lie that pro-abortion rhetoric is womanhood.”
