Andrew Doyle, a Co Wicklow farmer, has been re-elected three times to the Dáil. The father-of-four runs a farm in Roundwood, Co Wicklow, which has been in the family since the 1840s. He was elected to Wicklow County Council in 1999 and served as chairman of the local authority. Doyle's first taste of national politics came in 2007 when he was elected to the Dáil and became opposition front-bench spokesman on agriculture in 2010. After topping the Wicklow poll in the 2011 general election, he was widely-tipped to become minister for agriculture. In the end, he was appointed chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine. In the 2016 general election, Doyle won one of the final seats in the constituency without reaching the quota.
