Norma Foley - December 20th 2023

This weeks guest on Stand Out with Ian O’Connell is Tralee native Norma Foley. Norma Foley is a Kerry TD and Fianna Fáil Minister for Education. Born and reared in Tralee, Norma is married to Denis Maguire, also a teacher. A passion for politics blossomed at an early age and she was a regular on the campaign trail, canvassing for her father Denis, a TD for Kerry North for over 18 years. With Fianna Fáil in her blood, it did not take long to answer the call of public office. Norma was appointed Minister for Education in June 2020 following the formation of the Government when she became the first Kerry woman to sit at the Cabinet table. We will be talking about the education system in Ireland, her life in politics, Norma’s personal life, politicians safety and much more.
