Heather Humphreys (born 14 May 1963) is an Irish Fine Gael politician who has served as Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation since November 2017. She has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Cavan–Monaghan constituency since 2011.

She previously served as Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht from June 2017 to November 2017, Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs from 2016 to 2017 and Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht from 2014 to 2016.[2]

Early life

Humphreys was born in the village of Drum, County Monaghan. Raised as a Presbyterian, her father is a member of the Orange Order, while her grandfather, Robert James Stewart, signed the Ulster Covenant opposing Home Rule in 1912.[3][4] Humphreys was educated at St. Aidan's Comprehensive School in Cootehill. She then attended University College Galway (now NUI Galway).[5] For a number of years she worked as an official with Ulster Bank and the Credit Union. She was later appointed manager of Cootehill Credit Union.

Early political career

Following the abolition of the dual mandate in 2003, Humphreys was co-opted onto Monaghan County Council in succession to Seymour Crawford. She was elected in her own right at the 2004 and once again in 2009 local elections.[6] She was elected as Mayor of Monaghan County Council in 2009.[7] While a member of the council, she served as Chair of the Council's Strategic Policy Committee on Planning and Economic Development.

Humphreys was elected as a TD for Cavan–Monaghan at the 2011 general election. She is the only Presbyterian member of the Oireachtas.[8]

After an initial period on the backbenches, Humphreys was appointed Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, following a cabinet reshuffle in July 2014.

Following the formation of a Fine Gael minority government in May 2016, Humphreys was appointed to the newly created position of Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.[9]

In government

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

Humphreys was a surprise appointment to the position of Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, following a cabinet reshuffle in July 2014.[10] After just a few months in the position she became embroiled in controversy over her appointment of John McNulty to the board of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA). McNulty was a Fine Gael candidate for a Seanad by-election and his appointment occurred a few days before his nomination was announced. Humphreys was accused of stroke politics and cronyism.

In her role as the Minister responsible for the preparations of the 2016 Easter Rising centenary celebrations, she said: {{cquote|"Given my background as a Protestant and an Ulsterwoman who is a proud Irish republican, I appreciate the need to respect the differing traditions on this island."[11]}}

Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Humphreys was appointed to the newly expanded position of Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs following the formation of a Fine Gael minority government on 6 May 2016.[12]

Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

On 30 November 2017, Humphreys was appointed as Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation. She succeeded Frances Fitzgerald, who had resigned on 28 November.[13]
