Joe Flaherty (born 1969) is an Irish former Fianna Fáil politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Longford–Westmeath constituency between 2020 and 2024.[1]
Flaherty was co-opted onto Longford County Council in 2018, and was re-elected in 2019. He was the only Longford-based TD to be sent to the Dáil at the 2020 election.
In 2020, immediately after being elected as TD, Flaherty wrote a letter to court on behalf of three men convicted of assault, with former justice minister Charles Flanagan stating it was "dangerous" for TDs to try to "influence judicial decisions". Flaherty said he regretted writing the letter.[2]
Flaherty is the managing director of a newspaper company. He is married to Niamh Donlon and they have three children.[3]
