Michael Fahy (???-2019)

Michael Fahy was an Irish farmer, and a Fianna Fáil and sometime independent member of Galway County Council. From Ardrahan and first elected to the council in 19779, he resigned from Fianna Fáil in 2004 when under investigation for misappropriation of funds from the council. He served a prison sentence for this in 2007, but his conviction was overturned in 2011. He rejoined Fianna Fáil in 2018. Fahy owned a 70-acre farm and prior to his trial worked as a salesman for New Ireland Assurance. He was appointed a Peace Commissioner in 1978, and was on the visiting committee of Limerick Prison until 2004. He ran in Galway West as an independent in the 1987 general election, but later rejoined Fianna Fáil. In the 2004 local elections, Fahy was criticised for using thousands of prepaid Oireachtas envelopes to write to voters. He said "I wanted to show I had the support of the Oireachtas members and if I hadn't done it like the other candidates, it would seem like I didn't have the same clout." The judge at his 2007 trial alluded to Fahy's "quite extensive property assets of great value"; his 2010 councillor's declaration of interests lists land at Cregclare, Ardrahan, and Caherduff.
