Malcolm Byrne Biography
Born in Gorey, County Wexford, in 1974. Byrne is the eldest child from a family of five. He attended CBS Secondary and Loreto and CBS Primary Schools in Gorey, later studying law at University College Dublin.
Malcolm Byrne (born 25 April 1974) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who has been a Senator for the Cultural and Educational Panel since April 2020. He previously served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency from 2019 to 2020.
When first elected to Gorey Town Council on the first count in 1999, he was its youngest member at the age of 25. He topped the poll again at the 2004 local elections. He was first elected to Wexford County Council in 2009 for Gorey, and elected Chairman following his 2014 re-election.
Byrne is openly gay. In January 2006, The Sun included his picture on the cover of its Irish edition beneath the headline “Bertie’s FF Man in Gay Web Shame.” The “Gay Web Shame” alleged by the tabloid proved on closer examination to simply be a profile on the dating website Gaydar. Byrne responded at the time: “I have not, nor have I ever, done anything illegal and I am not a hypocrite in any way. My views on gay rights issues are well known. I am not married with four children or anything like that, so there is no suggestion of hypocrisy.” His family and political career suffered as a result and he was not selected for candidacy in the 2007 general election following this incident.
He was chosen to run for Fianna Fáil in the 2016 general election in the Wexford constituency, although he failed to win a seat.
Byrne was elected as a TD at the 2019 Wexford by-election. His maiden speech was about housing solutions and the need to address the challenges facing GenerationRent. In an interview he said he could envisage a United Ireland where the 12th of July and Saint Patrick’s Day were public holidays and spoke about how Ireland needs to ensure Unionists feel at home in a new agreed state and that may mean addressing issues such as Ireland joining the Commonwealth.
He contested the 2019 European Parliament election for Fianna Fail in the South constituency but was eliminated on the 16th Count.
He was Head of Communications with the Higher Education Authority until 2019, and has been Vice-President of the National Youth Council of Ireland, the Union of Students in Ireland’s former Education Officer and a former executive member of the European Students’ Union. In 2014, he was named as one of the European 40 Under 40, in the European Young Leaders Programme.
He was elected in a by-election in November 2019, only to lose his seat in the subsequent general election in February 2020. He was a member of Wexford County Council from 2009 to 2019.
Byrne lost his seat at the next general election, on 8 February 2020, following what he called “a dirty campaign”. His defeat after only 71 days made him the TD with the second-shortest term of service, after the Anti-H-Block TD Kieran Doherty, who died on hunger strike in August 1981 only 52 days after his election. On 31 March 2020, Byrne was deemed elected to Seanad Éireann following the 2020 election to the upper house.
