Alexis FitzGerald, Snr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexis FitzGerald (senior) (4 September 1916 – 16 June 1985) was an Irish solicitor and Fine Gael party politician.
He was elected in 1969 to the 12th Seanad Éireann on the Industrial and Commercial Panel, and re-elected in 1973 and 1977. He retired from politics at the 1981 Seanad election, and his nephew Alexis FitzGerald, Jnr was elected to the 15th Seanad, again by the Industrial and Commercial Panel.
In 1947, FitzGerald was one of the founding partners of the Dublin solicitors' firm McCann White & FitzGerald, now (as McCann FitzGerald) one Ireland's largest law firms. He was the practice's senior partner until he died in 1985.
He also lectured in economics at University College Dublin and from 1981–1982 he was a special advisor to Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald (no relation).
He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.
