Emer Currie
Emer Currie (born 1 May 1979) is an Irish Fine Gael politician who has served as a Senator since June 2020, after being nominated by the Taoiseach.

She previously served as a member of Fingal County Council from 2019 to 2020.

Currie was an unsuccessful candidate in the 2020 general election as the Fine Gael running mate of outgoing Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in Dublin West.

Her father, Austin Currie, is founding member of the SDLP, former Minister of State, and Teachta Dála (TD).

On 24 October 2020, Currie was one of four Fine Gael senators (along with Tim Lombard, Jerry Buttimer and Garret Ahearn) reported to have begun self-isolating after two tested positive for COVID-19. Currie later confirmed she was one of the two, her symptoms beginning with a cough, and that she had contacted Leinster House, leading to the other three having to isolate.
