He had been a member of Cork County Council from 2014 to 2016. Personal lifeBuckley is married to wife Sandra, they have two children. Before entering politics Buckley made a living in construction work. His father had been a stonemason in the Midleton area. In between 2002 and 2003 Buckley lost two brothers, Mark (30) and James (22) to suicide. This prompted him to become an active mental health, wellness and suicide prevention campaigner and he has spoken about his experience many times. Buckley and other concerned people in the Midelton community set up a charity, the Let's Get Together Foundation, to help raise awareness of the problem.[3][4] CareerBuckley was elected to Cork County Council for the area of Cork East in 2014 with 12.11% of the first preference vote, his party running mate Michelle Hennessy narrowly missing out on the last seat with 9.33%.[5] In 2016 Buckley ran in the general election for Cork East, retaining the Sinn Féin seat won by Sandra McLellan in 2011 with 5,358 first preference votes.[5] He was appointed as Sinn Féin first spokesperson on Suicide Prevention working closely with Mary Lou McDonald TD on the party's Mental Health brief. In 2018 he was appointed spokesperson on Mental Health and Suicide Prevention following McDonald's election to the role of Uachtarán Shinn Féin. Buckley since his election to the Dáil has been a member of the Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Healthcare helping to develop the Sláintecare report. In 2017 Buckley was appointed to the Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Mental Healthcare which was tasked with developing a strategy for developing a world class public mental healthcare service. Legal issuesBuckley received a three-year drink-driving ban and was fined €500 in December 2014 following an incident on 9 June 2013 when he was stopped while driving by Gardaí.[6] Subsequent tests showed that Buckley was over three times above the permitted blood-alcohol level. Buckley stated after his conviction, "as a SF public representative I regret my actions and my choice to drive after drink."[7] Buckley pleaded guilty before Midleton District Court in May 2018 to being drunk and to engaging in threatening and abusive behaviour to a Garda in the course of his duty.[8] His guilty plea was related to an incident which occurred at Buckley's home in August 2017 following a noise complaint. Responding officers were told to "fuck off" by Buckley who has stated that he was under the influence of alcohol and deeply regrets his behavior.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/members/member/Pat-Buckley.D.2016-10-03/|title=Pat Buckley|work=Oireachtas Members Database|access-date=28 December 2018}} {{Current TDs}}{{Sinn Féin}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Buckley, Pat}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rte.ie/news/election-2016/candidates/754525-pat-buckley/|title=Election 2016: Pat Buckley|work=RTÉ News|date=27 February 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/losing-life-finding-hope-1.416702|title=Losing life, finding hope|work=The Irish Times|date=19 February 2005}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/cork-east-td-tells-of-the-trauma-of-losing-brothers-to-suicide-424636.html|title=Cork East TD tells of the trauma of losing brothers to suicide|work=Irish Examiner|date=7 October 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://electionsireland.org/candidate.cfm?ID=11102|title=Patrick Buckley|work=ElectionsIreland.org|access-date=28 December 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/2014/1211/666312-sinn-fein-councillor-given-three-year-driving-ban/|title=Sinn Féin councillor given three-year drink-driving ban |work=RTÉ News|date=12 December 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/christmas-road-safety-plea-issued-by-mortified-drinkdrive-politician-30860612.html|title=Christmas road safety plea issued by 'mortified' drink-drive politician|work=Irish Independent|date=24 December 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thejournal.ie/pat-buckley-verbally-abusing-gardai-4007268-May2018/|title=Sinn Féin TD Pat Buckley apologises for verbally abusing gardaí while drunk|work=TheJournal.ie|date=11 May 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/sinn-fein-td-apologises-for-being-threatening-and-abusive-to-garda-while-drunk-36897994.html|title=Sinn Fein TD apologises for being threatening and abusive to garda while drunk|work=Irish Independent|date=11 May 2018}} 6 : 1969 births|Alumni of Cork Institute of Technology|Living people|Local councillors in County Cork|Members of the 32nd Dáil|Sinn Féin TDs (post-1923) |
