|}}Ann Phelan (born 16 September 1961) is a former Irish Labour Party politician who served as Minister of State for Rural Economic Development and Rural Transport from 2014 to 2016. She served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency from 2011 to 2016.[1]

Political career

Phelan was elected to Kilkenny County Council in 2004 and 2009 for the Thomastown electoral area.

First elected as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency at the 2011 general election, she served until losing her temper at the 2016 general election.[2]

On 15 July 2014, she was appointed as Minister of State with responsibility for rural economic development and rural transport at the Departments of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Transport, Tourism and Sport.[3] Her responsibilities also included the implementation of the 2014 report by the Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas (CEDRA).

Before the 2016 general election she participated in a live radio debate on KCLR 96FM. While there she got into an argument, saying: "I am just going to give up here now. I came to this debate here tonight, I came in here, I've been completely ignored and I'll tell you now I'm fed up of the whole bloody lot of ye." Then she walked out of the studio. She admitted later that she had "absolutely" lost her temper.[4]

She lost her seat at the 2016 general election.[2]
