Fine Gael is the third largest political party in the Oireachtas. The Fine Gael leader appoints a team of TDs and Senators to speak for the party on different issues. When Fine Gael was in opposition, the front bench areas of responsibility broadly corresponded to those of Government ministers. Fine Gael has been in Government since March 2011 and accordingly their front bench consists of the ministerial officeholders. In 2025 a number of non-ministerial office holders were appointed as spokespeople for policy areas where Fine Gael does not have a minister.
Fine Gael's current leader is Simon Harris. Helen McEntee is the current deputy leader, and Michael Carrigy is chair of the parliamentary party.
Fine Gael ministers
On 23 January 2025, seven Fine Gael TDs were appointed to the 35th government of Ireland by Taoiseach Micheál Martin. Fine Gael TD Hildegarde Naughton was also appointed a minister of state in attendance at cabinet. On 29 January 2025, the government on the nomination of the Taoiseach appointed six further Fine Gael ministers of state. On 25 February 2025, Colm Brophy was also appointed minister of state.
