Ireland’s Only Jewish Member of Parliament, Now Minister of Justice, Equality and Defense
Alan Shatter, Ireland’s only Jewish member of Parliament, was sworn in as the new Minister for Justice, Equality and also Minister for Defense.

Mr. Shatter, 60, represents a constituency in the south of Dublin, where most of Ireland’s Jews live.
