Oliver J. Flanagan
Oliver J. Flanagan (22 May 1920 – 26 April 1987) was an Irish Fine Gael politician who served in Dáil Éireann for 43 years and was Minister for Defence for six months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. Oliver J. Flanagan )〕 Prior to his election to the Dáil, Flanagan had been Secretary of a local branch of the Fianna Fáil party.〔Dáil debates, Vol. 96, 25 April 1945, col. 2456: http://debates.oireachtas.ie/dail/1945/04/25/00023.asp〕 He was elected to the Dáil fourteen times between 1943 and 1982, topping the poll on almost every occasion.〔 He was Father of the Dáil from 1981 until his retirement in 1987, and he remains one of the longest-serving members in the history of the Dáil.
Flanagan was a social conservative, who famously claimed that "there was no sex in Ireland before television".〔Hilary Tovey and Perry Share (2000). ''A Sociology of Ireland'', p. 259. Dublin: Gill & Macmillan.〕 A notorious anti-semite, he used his maiden speech in the Dáil, on 9 July 1943, to urge the government to "rout the Jews out of this country".〔Parliamentary debates – Dáil Éireann: (Volume 91 (9 July, 1943) ). Retrieved on 24 January 2008.〕
Nonetheless, he was consistently popular in his own constituency, largely because of the attention he paid to individual voters' petitions and concerns. He has been described as "one of the cutest of cute hoors in the history of the Dáil".〔Gene Kerrigan and Pat Brennan (1999). ''This Great Little Nation'', p. 190. Dublin: Gill & Macmillan.〕

He was member of the Catholic fraternal organisation the Knights of Saint Columbanus, and in 1978 was conferred a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope John Paul I.
