Gerard C. Connolly (16 April 1937 – 25 January 2024) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician.[1] A farmer and auctioneer, Connolly was first elected to the 19th Dáil as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Laois–Offaly constituency on his first attempt at the 1969 general election and was re-elected until retiring at the 1997 general election.[2]

When Charles Haughey became Taoiseach in 1979, Connolly was appointed Minister of State at the Department of the Environment and was re-appointed to the same position during the Haughey Governments of 1982, 1987 to 1989, and 1989 to 1992.

Connolly was not appointed a Minister of State under the succeeding Albert Reynolds government and retired in 1997.

He died on 25 January 2024, at the age of 86.[3] [4]
