Brian John Hayes (born 23 August 1969) is an Irish Fine Gael politician and Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Dublin since May 2014. He is a former Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin South-West constituency, and served as Minister of State at the Department of Finance from 2011 to 2014.
Hayes was born in Dublin. He was educated at Garbally College, Ballinasloe, County Galway; St Patrick's College, Maynooth, from which he received a degree in history and sociology in 1991, and Trinity College, Dublin. Formerly a secondary school teacher, he was a member of South Dublin County Council between 1995 and 2003.
Before joining Fine Gael Hayes had been a member of Democratic Left, a party which he joined because of the hardline anti-Provisional IRA and anti-Irish Republican Socialist Movement policies of its leader Proinsias de Rossa. He subsequently joined Fine Gael for similar reasons, this time inspired by the anti-Sinn Féin stance of that party's then leader, John Bruton. In December 1995, he was nominated by the Taoiseach, John Bruton, to the 20th Seanad Éireann, where he was appointed Government spokesperson on the Environment. Hayes was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1997 general election for the Dublin South-West constituency. He was appointed Fine Gael spokesperson on Housing, House Prices and Urban Renewal.
