Gerard Brady (born 1948) is an Irish former Fianna Fáil politician and Teachta Dála (TD) for the Kildare constituency.[1]
He was elected at the February 1982 general election to the 23rd Dáil, but at the November 1982 general election he lost his seat to Fine Gael's Bernard Durkan. He was defeated again at the 1987 general election, and did not stand for Dáil Éireann again. At the 1985 local elections he was elected to Kildare County Council as a councillor for Celbridge, and held his council seat at the 1991 local elections.[2]
His wife Áine Brady was a TD for Kildare North between the 2007 general election and the 2011 general election, and served as a Minister of State. Her brothers Tom Kitt and Michael P. Kitt have both been Fianna Fáil TDs and government ministers, as was her father Michael F. Kitt.[2]
Brady and his wife were involved in the 2020 Oireachtas Golf Society scandal.[3]
