About Anne Rabbitte

Born 1970. Anne Rabbitte is an Irish politician.

Anne Rabbitte (born 11 October 1973) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who has served as a member of Seanad Éireann since December 2024. She was a Minister of State from July 2020 to January 2025. She previously served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway East constituency from 2016 to 2024.

She was a member of Galway County Council from 2014 for the Loughrea local electoral area until her election to the Dáil in 2016. In May 2016, she was appointed to the Fianna Fáil Front Bench, as Spokesperson for Children and Youth Affairs.

In April 2019, Rabbitte criticised plans to excavate the site of the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, describing it as "a wilful waste of public money", and questioned if the intention was to dig up every cillín (burial ground for stillborn and unbaptised infants) in Ireland.

In May 2019, Rabbitte contested the European Parliament election in Midlands–North-West but was unsuccessful. She was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and Minister of State at the Department of Health with responsibility for Disability.

Rabbitte lost her seat at the 2024 general election. She was a nominated member to the 26th Seanad on 10 December 2024 by Taoiseach Simon Harris.
