"Be they familiar figures or fresh faces, expect big things from these politicians The new Dáil term brought 64 new TDs as well as the return of some familiar faces who - after the protracted Dáil speaking rights row that delayed the election of Micheál Martin as Taoiseach - finally got down to work. Many have stayed anonymous, their names barely known to the public, while others, for reasons good and bad, have carved out a name for themselves throughout the year."

The new Dáil term introduced 64 new TDs alongside returning members. A protracted Dáil speaking rights row delayed the election of Micheál Martin as Taoiseach, after which the parliamentarians began working. Many of the new and returning TDs have remained largely anonymous, with their names barely known to the public. Other TDs have, for reasons both positive and negative, established public profiles and influence over the course of the year. The roster of politicians therefore includes both unheralded figures likely to emerge and familiar faces whose actions have already attracted attention.
