Couples involved in politics are an infrequent, if not rare, phenomenon, although Stillorgan-based Fine Gael Cllr Maeve O’Connell is married to Minister of State Colm Brophy, while perhaps the best-known couple currently in Irish politics is Minister for TourismA project manager with FBD, Sallyann has long had an interest in politics and social policy. “There’s always been politics in my family, my father Fine Gael and my mother Fianna Fáil.

With two politicians in the house, the Moylans have to be co-ordinated about their canvassing schedules, to combine work and family duties for three children, aged 16 to 20, including a Leaving Cert student.

We’ve always been Fianna Fáil.”
