Áine Collins (born 9 September 1969) is an Irish former Fine Gael politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Cork North-West constituency from 2011 to 2016.
Collins credits her father for her interest in politics, who was chairperson of the local branch of Fine Gael.
Her intention when she left school was to get into car sales, so she embarked on a year-long course in automobile engineering at CIT.
Collins became noted as the centre of the incident, after her party colleague Tom Barry hauled her onto his lap during a late night debate on the abortion legislation.
[8] In 2019, she failed in a bid to be elected as a Cork County Councillor for the Macroom local electoral area.
