Peter Power (born 26 January 1966) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He is currently a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Limerick East constituency and is the Minister of State for Overseas Development.[1]

Contents

[edit] Early and private life

Power was born in Limerick and now lives with his wife and 4 children in the same area as he grew up. He was educated at JFK Memorial School, Ardscoil Rís and University College Cork (UCC). Previous to his election as a TD he worked as a solicitor at Holmes O'Malley Sexton in Limerick.

[edit] Political career

Power first contested national elections at the 1997 general election. He was unsuccessful on this attempt.

He contested the 1999 local elections in the No. 1 electoral area of Limerick City Council and was the only Fianna Fáil candidate across all 4 wards to top the poll and become a Limerick City Councillor. In 2000–2001 he was Deputy Mayor. Michael Ryan was co-opted in his place in 2003 after due to the abolition of the Dual Mandate.

He was elected to Dáil Éireann at the 2002 general election as a Fianna Fáil TD. He was re-elected at the 2007 general election.[2]

He chaired the Joint Oireachtas Child Protection Committee established by the Oireachtas following the fall-out surrounding the May 2006 Supreme Court judgement in the CC Case. The Committee was convened in July 2006 and made its report in November of the same year. Power also served as a member of the Justice and Transportation committees.

In May 2008, he was appointed as Minister of State for Overseas Development and re-appointed by Taoiseach Brian Cowen on 22 April 2009 following the reduction in the number of Minister of State from 20 to 15 in which 7 serving ministers were not re-appointed.
