  • Martin McAleese is a member of Seanad Éireann and the husband of the current President of Ireland, Mary McAleese. He played with the Antrim Minors and was captain of the team in 1969. He trained and worked as an accountant and then qualified as a dentist. He practiced as a dentist in Crossmaglen and Bessbrook, County Armagh. He moved to Dublin in 1972 and trained with Stokes, Kennedy, Crowley chartered accountants in Dublin. He later worked as financial controller for an Aer Lingus subsidiary. He went back to full-time education at Trinity College, Dublin in 1980 to train as a dentist. He married Mary Leneghan in 1976 and they lived first in Scholarstown, County Dublin for a short period and then for almost 12 years near Ratoath, County Meath. The couple have three children, Emma and twins SaraMai and Justin. The family moved to Rostrevor, County Down in 1987 when Martin set up practice in County Armagh. While his wife served as President of Ireland, he initiated a series of meetings with senior loyalist paramilitary leaders to pursue peace negotiations. These actions did not take place without controversy, but have been widely viewed as instrumental in bringing loyalist paramilitary groups to peace talks. In May 2011, McAleese was appointed as a Senator by the Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
