Ted Nealon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ted Nealon (born 1 November 1929) was an Irish Fine Gael politician. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann in the 1981 general election as a TD for Sligo-Leitrim, and was re-elected at each successive election until he retired from politics at the 1997 general election.
He served as Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture from 1981 to 1982 in the Fine Gael–Labour Party government of the 22nd Dáil. After the November 1982 general election, another Fine Gael–Labour coalition was returned to office in the 24th Dáil under Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald. In February 1983, he was appointed Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (with responsibilities for Arts and Culture). He was also Minister of State at the Department of Posts & Telegraphs, subsequently becoming Minister of State at the Department of Communications when the department was re-named.
He is also well known as as the editor and compiler of 'Nealon's Guide to the Dáil'. This book comes out after every general election and is regarded as the 'bible' of political statistics and information.
