Timeline
Ben Briscoe (11 March 1934 – 10 July 2023) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1965 to 2002.
Briscoe was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Dublin South-West constituency at the 1965 general election, succeeding his father Robert Briscoe who had been a TD for 38 years.
He was elected at the 1969 general election for Dublin South-Central, where he was reelected in 1973 and after major boundary changes for the 1977 general election he was elected for the Dublin Rathmines West constituency.
Briscoe was very critical of the cult of personality surrounding Fianna Fáil leader Charles Haughey during the 1980s, which Briscoe once compared to a "Fascist Dictatorship".
Briscoe accordingly helped lead the discontented anti-Haughey faction within Fianna Fáil, which included Charlie McCreevy, during Haughey's time as Taoiseach.
A subsequent boundary revision in advance of the 1981 general election abolished Dublin Rathmines West and divided the area between the neighbouring constituencies.
From 1988 to 1989, he served as Lord Mayor of Dublin, a post previously held by his father, Robert.
His term covered the second half of Dublin's Millennium Year 1988.
After the city council had made him Lord Mayor, Briscoe described his selection for the honour as "one of the proudest moments of my life".
The Molly Malone statue previously at the bottom end of Grafton Street and now outside the Dublin Tourist around the corner was unveiled by Briscoe during the Dublin Millennium celebrations in 1988 and he declared 13 June as Molly Malone Day in Dublin.
Briscoe was one of Ireland's most famous Jewish politicians.
The small Irish Jewish community have been enthusiastic and active participants in the country's political and legal world.
Briscoe's father was one of several Jews involved in the War of Independence and Sinn Féin movements.
In Briscoe's time each of the three main political parties had a Jewish member in Ireland's 166-member Dáil.
Briscoe died on 10 July 2023, at the age of 89.
At the 1992 general election, Briscoe was involved in a marathon recount battle with Democratic Left's Eric Byrne to decide the fate of the final seat in Dublin South-Central.
Briscoe was declared the victor after ten days of recounting and rechecking ballot papers, leading to Briscoe describing the long count as being like "the agony and the ex-TD."
Briscoe was reelected for the reestablished Dublin South-Central constituency which he held until he retired at the 2002 general election.
