Irish Trotskyist politician Richard Boyd Barrett (born 6 February 1967)
was adopted as a baby.
His birth mother is Sinéad Cusack, with whom he was later reunited. This was revealed in the last week of his unsuccessful 2007 Dáil election campaign, during which Cusack, a vocal opponent of the Iraq War, canvassed for him.
In May 2013, he claimed that theatre director Vincent Dowling was his biological father. Dowling had just died, and Boyd Barrett said: "I can confirm that Vincent Dowling was my biological father. We made contact a few years ago. He contacted me. It had gotten out there, hadn't it? And he put two and two together. He called me. I'm not exactly sure how long ago it was, my memory on this is a little vague. It was around three or four years ago.
"He lived in America but we had a relationship and I'm in touch with my sisters there. I was aware that he was ill. I'm very sad today and my sisters are very sad."
On May 11th 2003, Cusack also confirmed that Vincent Dowling was Mr Boyd Barrett's biological father.
