Michael Herbert

Michael ("Micheál") Herbert (17 May 1925 – 20 June 2006) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician.

A publican from Castleconnell, County Limerick, he unsuccessfully contested the 1965 general election and was first elected to Dáil Éireann in the 1969 general election as a Teachta Dála (TD) for Limerick East. He was re-elected for the constituency until the 1981 general election when he did not stand for re-election. He was again unsuccessful in the November 1982 election.

While a TD, Herbert served as a Member of the European Parliament from 1973 to 1979, being appointed to Ireland's first delegation, second delegation and third delegation.

In the first direct elections to the European Parliament in December 1979 he stood in the Munster constituency but was not elected.

He played hurling as a full-back with the Limerick Senior Hurling team, with whom he won a National Hurling League medal in 1947, and also with his local club Ahane. He retired prematurely from the game following a serious head injury sustained in a club match in 1949. His brothers Seán and Tony were also outstanding hurlers with Limerick and his son Turlough was a member of the Limerick senior hurling panel for the 1994 All-Ireland final.

Micheál Herbert died in 2006, aged 81.
