Heather Humphreys career
Humphreys was appointed to join Monaghan County Council to succeed the former Irish Fine Gael politician, Seymour Crawford after the extermination of dual mandate in 2003.
During the 2004 and 2009 local elections, Humphreys was elected in her own right and also made the Major of Monaghan County in 2009. She worked as the Chair of the Monaghan County Council’s Strategic Policy Committee on Planning and Economic Development when she was appointed as a member of the council.
In the 2011 general election, Humphreys won the seat of Cavan–Monaghan as a Fine Gael TD as she is the only Oireachtas member who is Presbyterian.
Humphreys remained first on the backbenches before being named Minister for Arts, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht in July 2014’s cabinet reshuffle.
Her appointment of John McNulty to the board of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) on September 12, 2014, just before his nomination for a Seanad by-election to the Cultural and Educational Panel, sparked criticism after she had only been in the role for a few months.
Humphreys granted her consent in March 2016 to the demolition of Moore Street buildings 13–19 because she did not think they were of “historical importance”. The 1916 Easter Rising leaders turned themselves in at these buildings.
Her role as the Minister of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural, and Gaeltacht Affairs was extended following the formation of a Fine Gael minority government in May 2016.
In July 2017, she was named to the position of Minister for Culture, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht in Leo Varadkar’s administration. Humphreys also secured the position as the Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation on November 30, 2017.
She also took over from Frances Fitzgerald after he retired from the position on November 28, 2017. June 27, 2020, also saw Humphreys being appointed as Minister for Social Protection and Minister for Rural and Community Development by Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
On a temporal basis, Humphreys was also appointed the Minister of Justice on April 27, 2021, ending on November 1, 2021, to cover Helen McEntee’s maternity leave. She secured the position for the second time as a result of McEntee’s maternity leave in November 2022.
After Leo Varadkar was named Taoiseach on December 17, 2022, she was nominated again to the same positions; however, Simon Harris was given the temporary post of Minister for Justice.
She was named Fine Gael’s Director of Elections for the Irish constitutional referendums scheduled for March 2024 on January 27, 2024.
