Anthony Millar
Irish politician
Anthony G. Millar (24 September 1934 – 23 January 1993) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician.
Millar was born in Ballydangan, County Roscommon, to Patrick Millar and Mary Beegan. A brother of his paternal grandmother was Michael Reddy, Irish Parliamentary Party MP for Birr from 1900 to 1918.
He was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway South constituency at the 1958 by-election caused by the death of Patrick Beegan of Fianna Fáil, who was his uncle.
He was re-elected at the 1961 and 1965 general elections for the Galway East constituency. He did not contest the 1969 general election.

Why this record matters
The phrase “irish politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4773104. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1934, 1993, 1900 and 1918.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
