  • Michael P. Kitt (irisch Micheál Ó Ceit, * 17. Mai 1950 in Tuam, County Galway) ist ein irischer Politiker (Fianna Fáil) und gehört seit 2007 erneut dem Dáil Éireann, dem Unterhaus des irischen Parlaments, an. Kitt besuchte das St. Jarlath's College in Tuam, das St. Patrick's Teacher Training College in Drumcondra, das University College Dublin, wo er seinen Bachelor of Arts (BA) sowie sein Higher Diplom of Education (HdipED) erhielt, und das University College Galway. Kitt wurde nun als Lehrer tätig. Im März 1975 wurde er in einer Nachwahl im Wahlkreis Galway North-East erstmals in den Dáil Éireann gewählt und besetzte damit den vakanten Sitz seines verstorbenen Vaters neu. Bei den nächsten regulären Wahlen im Jahr 1977 konnte Kitt sein Mandat jedoch nicht verteidigen. Stattdessen wurde er in den 14. Seanad Éireann gewählt. Erst 1981 gelang ihm im Wahlkreis Galway East der Wiedereinzug in den Dáil Éireann, dem er diesmal bis 2002 angehörte. Als Abgeordneter (Teachta Dála) war er vom 15. November 1991 bis zum 11. Februar 1992 Staatsminister des Taoiseach. Im Juli 2002 wurde er von Taoiseach Bertie Ahern zum Senator im 22. Seanad Éireann nominiert. Nachdem er in den 30. Dáil gewählt wurde, hatte er dort verschiedene Posten als Staatsminister inne. Von 1975 bis 1991 war Kitt Mitglied des Galway County Council und fungierte in dieser Zeit von 1985 bis 1986 als dessen Vorsitzender. Er ist verheiratet und hat vier Kinder, drei Söhne und eine Tochter. Sein Bruder Tom Kitt und seine Schwester Áine Brady sind ebenfalls politisch aktiv. (de)

He was a Senator from 2002 to 2007, after being Nominated by the Taoiseach and from 1977 to 1981 for the Administrative Panel. Born in Tuam, County Galway, Kitt was educated St Jarlath's College, Tuam; St Patrick's College of Education, Dublin; University College Dublin and University College Galway. He qualified as a teacher before becoming involved in politics. In 1975, following the death of his father, Michael F. Kitt, he was elected to succeed his father on Galway County Council. In the Galway North-East by-election on 4 March he was elected to the 20th Dáil, being returned on the first count with a 7% majority over the Fine Gael candidate Paul Connaughton Snr. Kitt lost his Dáil seat at the 1977 general election but was subsequently elected to Seanad Éireann by the Administrative Panel, serving until 1981 as a member of the 14th Seanad. He was re-elected to the Dáil at the 1981 general election for the new Galway East and retained his seat until 2002. During this period he served as a Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach for three months from November 1991 to February 1992. He lost his Dáil seat at the 2002 general election but was subsequently nominated by the Taoiseach to serve as a member of the 22nd Seanad. He was re-elected to the Dáil at the 2007 general election. In June 2007, he was appointed by Bertie Ahern as Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs with responsibility for Overseas Development. In May 2008, when Brian Cowen succeeded as Taoiseach, he was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government with special responsibility for Local Services. He served in this position until April 2009 when he was dropped when Cowen reduced the number of junior ministers from 20 to 15. On 31 March 2011, he was elected as Leas-Cheann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann, serving for the 31st Dáil. He did not contest the 2016 general election and retired from politics. Michael Kitt comes from a strongly political family. He is a son of Michael F. Kitt, who was a TD for various Galway constituencies (1948–1951 and 1957–1975), and a brother of Tom Kitt, a TD for Dublin South from 1987 to 2011, and of Áine Brady, a TD for Kildare North from 2007 to 2011. His brother-in-law Gerry Brady also served as TD for Kildare in 1982. (en)
