In 2001, Bruton was deposed as Fine Gael leader, and replaced by Michael Noonan.

In December 1994 Bruton became Taoiseach, but Dukes failed to secure a ministerial position despite being one of the most high profile and experienced members of Fine Gael.

Bruton was narrowly elected to Dáil Éireann in the 1969 general election as a Fine Gael TD for Meath.

Following Fine Gael's defeat in the 1977 general election, Bruton was appointed to the new front bench as Spokesperson on Agriculture by its new leader, Garret FitzGerald.

The minority Fianna Fáil government which followed only lasted until November 1982 when Fine Gael once again returned to power in a coalition government with the Labour Party but when the new government was formed Bruton was moved from Finance to become Minister for Industry and Energy.

Bruton was of Fine Gael's Christian Democrat tradition, whereas Dukes was in FitzGerald's Social Democratic mould.

Bruton, who was the deputy-leader of Fine Gael at the time, was unopposed in the ensuing leadership election.

Fine Gael, and Bruton personally, continued to perform poorly in opinion polls throughout 1993 and early 1994 and Bruton narrowly survived a challenge to his leadership in early 1994.

Bruton faced charges of hypocrisy for agreeing to enter government with Democratic Left, as Fine Gael campaigned in the 1992 general election on a promise not to enter government with the party.

Additionally, many years later Frank Dunlop made allegations before the planning tribunal that he had informed Bruton about demands for a £ 250, 000 bribe made to him by a Fine Gael Dublin councillor, Tom Hand, in order to rezone the Quarryvale development.

Dunlop testified that when he informed Bruton of the bribery attempts, Bruton replied, " There are no angels in the world or in Fine Gael ".

Bruton was deposed from leadership in 2001 in favour of Michael Noonan, due in part to fears Fine Gael would suffer severe losses in the 2002 election.

His brother, Richard Bruton, was formerly deputy leader of Fine Gael.

Bruton was widely discussed as a candidate for the 2011 presidential election and was approached by Fine Gael with the opportunity to become their candidate ; on 28 May 2011, however, Bruton issued a statement that he was " flattered " to be asked, but would not be a candidate for the presidency.

He is Fine Gael's first Taoiseach since John Bruton from 1994 to 1997, and the first Fine Gael leader to win government in an election since Garret FitzGerald in 1982.

However, following further evidence at the Tribunal, Bruton returned to it in October 2007 and conceded that " it gradually came back to me ", that Dunlop, " did say to me something about a councillor looking for money ".

Nevertheless, on 15 December, aged 47, Bruton became the then youngest ever Taoiseach.

Bruton then helped to negotiate the Rainbow Coalition between Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Democratic Left.

Bruton then declined to comment as to whether he would serve in Kenny's front bench despite saying before that it would be hypocritical to do so.

F. A. Bruton wrote that " The Town Hall ... is best viewed when the Square is empty and silent, as, for example, on Saturday afternoon or Sunday, and it is then that we may realise what a splendid " ruin " it will make, to excite the wonder of the South Sea Islander of the future.

Bruton himself viewed the fact that the heir to the British throne could visit the Republic successfully, as marking an important turning point in Anglo Irish relations and stands over the comments he made as appropriate in the circumstances.

He had made these remarks after Bruton had highlighted to the Dáil that despite McDowell's claims of increases in Garda personnel in 2005, only 6 extra Gardaí had been added to the Dublin police force in that year.
