Lucinda Creighton (born 20 January 1980) is an Irish businesswoman and former politician, who served as Minister of State for European Affairs from 2011 to 2013.

She was leader of Renua from its March 2015 foundation until May 2016, and served as a Teachta Dála (TD) representing Dublin South-East from 2007 to 2016.

In April 2011 Creighton married Paul Bradford, a fellow legislator in Seanad Éireann, who also switched from Fine Gael to Renua.

[5] While at Trinity College, Creighton was elected Deputy Secretary General of the Youth of the European People's Party.

[9] That October she was appointed as party deputy Spokesperson on Justice, with special responsibility for Immigration, Integration and Equality.

While the European spirit lives on, what is absent is the willingness and courage to argue, communicate and persuade people that it is still a good idea.

[16] Creighton was involved in the co-ordination of the planning and execution of Ireland's 2013 EU Presidency, chairing a government committee responsible for all policy preparations and oversight.

[19] Creighton played a central role during the 2012 referendum on the Stability Treaty, speaking at numerous public meetings and events.

[25] The party was to be founded under four principles, including, she claimed, "building an economy for entrepreneurs" and "giving politics back to the people.

She favours a system in which only a Government and Dáil vote is necessary for military deployment outside the State, for she believes it is not a "viable position in Irish foreign policy that peacekeeping missions are dependent on a UN mandate when Russia and China get a veto".

Following a meeting with her French counterpart in Paris in December 2012, she publicly called for the European Central Bank to become a lender of last resort.
