Paddy O'Toole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paddy J. O'Toole (Irish: Padráig Ó Tuathail; born January 1938) is a former Irish politician. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann on his second attempt in 1977 as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála for Mayo. O'Toole was just one of a handful of new Fine Gael TD's in what has gone down in history as the biggest landslide election victory for Jack Lynch's Fianna Fáil party. O'Toole served in both Cabinets of Garret FitzGerald in the 1980s, retaining his Dáil seat until he lost it at the 1987 general election. He immediately retired from politics.
