FG to lose Enright after she decides not to seek re-election for family reasons
Ms Enright, who has represented Laois-Offaly since 2002, said the demands on a rural TD were not compatible with family life.
Ms Enright has a 10-month-old son and is expecting her second child in December. Her husband, Joe McHugh, who is also a Fine Gael TD and represents Donegal North East, will continue in politics. “Ever since I first became involved in politics I have enjoyed dedicating myself to the tasks involved. However, my personal circumstances have changed greatly since I was first elected and in the longer term, with a young family, I will not be in the position to give the enormous commitment the position requires, and that my constituents deserve.”
