  • Billy Fox (3 January 1939 – 12 March 1974) was a politician in the Ireland, a member of Dáil Éireann from 1969 to 1973, and of Seanad Éireann from 1973 until he was killed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in March 1974. A member of the Fine Gael party, Fox was first elected to Monaghan County Council in 1967, and as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála to the Dáil for the Monaghan constituency in the 1969 general election. This was the first time ever that Fine Gael won two seats out of three in Monaghan, a county along the Republic of Ireland's border with Northern Ireland. Monaghan has traditionally had strong republican leanings and Fine Gael had often polled poorly there in the past. Fox was also one of a handful of members of Dáil Éireann (TDs) from the minority Protestant community. The outbreak of political unrest and violence in Northern Ireland, and a corresponding increase in republican sentiment, may have contributed to the loss of the second Fine Gael seat in Monaghan, against the national trend, in the 1973 general election when Fox was defeated. Later that year however he was elected to the 13th Seanad by the Cultural and Educational Panel. (en)
