Appearance
Brendan Griffin (born 28 August 1935) is a former Irish Fine Gael politician. A national schoolteacher by profession, he was an unsuccessful candidate at the 1969 general election. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) for the Tipperary South constituency at the 1973 general election, replacing party colleague Patrick Hogan who had died the previous October.[1] He was re-elected at each subsequent general election until he lost his seat at the 1989 general election to Fine Gael running-mate Theresa Ahearn despite gaining more first preference votes than her.[2] He later served as a member of South Tipperary County Council.
