Patrick Belton (26 June 1926 – 22 May 1987) was an Irish politician, company director and publican.
He was born on 26 June 1926 at 5 Mount Street Crescent, Dublin, the third of four sons of Patrick Belton and his wife Mary (née Fitzgibbon).[1] He was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) at the Dublin North-East by-election held on 30 May 1963 caused by the death of his brother Jack Belton.[2] He was re-elected for Dublin North-East at the 1965, 1969 and 1973 general elections. He lost his seat at the 1977 general election.[3] He served as Lord Mayor of Dublin from 1978 to 1979.[4]
Other members of the Belton family to have served in the Oireachtas include his father Patrick Belton, his brothers Richard Belton and Jack Belton; and his niece Avril Doyle.
