Patrick Nulty (born 18 November 1982) is a former Irish politician. He was elected as a Teachta Dála (TD) for Dublin West at a by-election in October 2011. He sat as an independent TD after losing the Labour Party whip on 6 December 2011. He resigned as a TD on 24 March 2014.
Nulty was born and raised in Corduff near Dublin. When two weeks old, he was injured in a house fire, leaving him with burn scars on his face and arms. He attended Riversdale Community College and has a degree in social policy from Trinity College, Dublin and a Masters in Social Science from University College Dublin. He worked as a social policy advisor for a homeless charity for five years. He is also a former National Chairperson of Labour Youth and was a prominent activist of the Students' Union in Trinity.
Nulty was elected to Fingal County Council for Labour at the 2009 local elections in the Mulhuddart local electoral area.
He was Labour's unsuccessful second candidate for Dublin West at the 2011 general election, where running-mate Joan Burton topped the poll, but was elected as a Teachta Dála (TD) for Dublin West at a by-election in October 2011. It was the first time since 1982 that a government party candidate had won a by-election.
