Early life and education


Séamus Pattison was born in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1936.[1] His father was Labour Party TD James Pattison, who represented Carlow–Kilkenny from 1933 to 1957.[1] After his education at University College Cork, Pattison became a full-time trade union official, serving with the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union (ITGWU).[2]



Career


Pattison unsuccessfully contested the Carlow–Kilkenny by-election for Labour in June 1960, but was elected at the 1961 general election to the 17th Dáil, and held the seat at eleven further general elections.[3]


He served as Mayor of Kilkenny on three occasions; 1967, 1976 and 1992.[4] He became a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Leinster in 1981, to replace Liam Kavanagh who became Minister for Labour following the 1981 general election.[1] Pattison resigned as an MEP in 1983 when he was appointed Minister of State at the Department of Social Welfare, in which position he served until the Fine Gael–Labour government fell in 1987.[5]


He was unanimously elected Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann on 26 June 1997, serving for the entire 28th Dáil.[6] When the 29th Dáil assembled after the 2002 general election he was replaced by Rory O'Hanlon, but was appointed as Leas-Cheann Comhairle (Deputy Chairman) for the 29th Dáil.[3]


Pattison was also a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.[2]


In September 2005, he announced he would retire at the following general election, and his nephew Eoin Pattison unsuccessfully sought the nomination.[7] Labour county councillor Michael O'Brien was selected in February 2006 to contest the seat, but was unsuccessful when polling took place in May 2007.[1]



Later life and death


When Pattison retired from politics at the 2007 election he had served in Dáil Éireann for 45 years and 7 months, making him the fifth-longest serving TD ever, and the longest-ever-serving Labour Party TD.[5] He was the longest-serving sitting TD from 1995 to 2007, and had the informal title of Father of the Dáil.[6]


Pattison died from Parkinson's disease at his home in Kilkenny on 4 February 2018, aged 81.[6]
