Frank Fahey (June 1951) is Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (with special responsibility for Labour Affairs, including Training).
Indeed, there is much anecdotal evidence to suggest that the retirement from politics of former Fianna Fáil Minister Máire Geoghegan Quinn before the election was due to Mr Fahey's exceptionally strong local profile and her fear that she might not retain her seat in the interesting Galway West constituency.
Mr Fahey's remarks in 1998 that mandatory reporting of child sex abuse allegations was not "the best thing to do at the present time" brought him into direct conflict with the Progressive Democrats who referred to the pledge given in the Programme for Government.

 Moscow, Plumbers, Hairdressers, The Mafia, and Minister of State Frank Fahey - Indymedia Ireland
While questions have been asked about the Minister's close working relationship with Andy Pyle, CEO of Shell Exploitation Ireland, and whether he was lobbying for them with simply the best interests of the people of Ireland at heart, his critics have not had much firm ammunition to throw at him.
