|}}Regina Doherty (born 26 January 1971) is an Irish Fine Gael politician who has served as Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection since June 2017. She has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Meath East constituency since 2011. She previously served as Government Chief Whip from 2016 to 2017.[1]

Career

Politics

She was a member of the Meath County Council for the Dunshaughlin electoral area from 2009 to 2011.[2] She was a member of the Oireachtas committees for Health, Finance and the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement during the 31st Dáil. She was also a member of the Constitutional Convention,[3] and was the Chairperson of the Fine Gael committee for health and children.

In May 2015, following the claims of IRA involvement of the cover-up of sexual abuse by Máiría Cahill, she was provided{{by whom|date=May 2016}} with names of a number of alleged abusers which she passed on to the Gardaí who are investigating the issue.[4]

Following the formation of a Fine Gael minority government in May 2016, Doherty was appointed to the cabinet as Government Chief Whip.

She was re-elected to the Dáil at the 2016 general election. She was appointed to the new Dáil reform committee on 22 March 2016.[5] She was appointed Government Chief Whip on 6 May 2016, following the government formation.[6]

In July 2017, Doherty confirmed[7] that she had lodged a complaint with gardaí against political blogger and academic Catherine Kelly. Kelly said that she was cautioned by gardaí about her social media posts and online articles,[8] which referenced Regina Doherty.[9] In the Dáil it was stated that a US based academic experienced a "sinister and chilling experience" in an Irish airport where she was detained by gardaí and told not to tweet about Ms Doherty or publish any material relevant to her again.[10]

On 14 June 2017, she was appointed Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.

In September 2017, it was revealed that she was going to repay an "unlawful" allowance of €15,800 that she received as Chief Whip in direct contravention of the law which states that “no allowance can be paid to a party whip if the person is a Minister or Minister of State”.[11]

In January 2018, Doherty announced the launch of the consultation process under the review of the Gender Recognition Act 2015, to further expanding the Gender Recognition Act to include those under 18 and non-binary people.[12]

In May 2018, Doherty participated in the Opening Plenary Session - Listening Today for Better Social Policies Tomorrow, in the OECD Policy forum in Canada [13]

In January 2019, Doherty briefed the Irish Cabinet, warning that while her department was well fixed to pass emergency legislation to continue social welfare payments in the event of Brexit, the UK may not be. It is understood London has agreed in principle to continue all payments, although Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd has been unable to guarantee that the necessary legislation will be passed by 29 March 2019.[14]

Also in January 2019, Doherty was appointed director of elections for Fine Gael for the 2019 European elections.[15]

Business

In January 2013, her IT consultancy company went into liquidation with debts of €280,000, including €60,000 due to the Revenue Commissioners.[16]
