Colm Brophy (born 22 June 1966) is an Irish Fine Gael politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin South-West constituency since 2016.[1] He served as Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs from July 2020 to December 2022.

Early life

Originally from Cabinteely, Brophy studied business at Rathmines College of Commerce.[2] Before becoming a councillor, he was the Director of Elections for the European Parliament campaigns for Fine Gael candidates Mary Banotti and Gay Mitchell.[3]

Political career

Brophy was co-opted as a member of South Dublin County Council in 2008, and served as a councillor until 2016.[4][3] During 2015 until his election to the Dáil, Brophy served as President of the Association of Irish Local Government (AILG).[5]

At the 2016 general election, Brophy stood as one of three Fine Gael candidates in the Dublin South-West constituency. He won with 10.7% of the first preference votes, and was elected on the sixteenth count without reaching the quota.[6] Brian Lawlor was co-opted to fill Brophy's seat on South Dublin County Council.[7]

He was appointed Chair of the Dáil Committee on Budgetary Oversight in December 2017.[8]

At the general election in February 2020, he won 12.2% of the first-preference votes, and was re-elected on the tenth count.[9][10] Following the formation of the Government of the 33rd Dáil, Brophy was appointed on 1 July 2020 as the Minister of State for Overseas Development Aid and Diaspora.[11] He said that his "focus in the coming months and years will be to listen to, and to support, our Diaspora communities, particularly its most vulnerable members".[12][13]

He was not re-appointed as a junior minister as part of the 33rd Government of Ireland in December 2022.[14]

At the 2024 general election, Brophy was re-elected to the Dáil.
