Garret recently completed 'Ireland in the World - Further Reflections', which has received positive reviews in The Irish Times.
Currently the only former Taoiseach for whom no picture is available. Surely someone can locate one? ( Leninbenjamin 23:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC))
The assessment section seems to be a series of opinions, none of which quote any sources.
Image:Fitzgeraldgarret.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
There is nothing much put in about his family background. Surely his ancestry deserves more of a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.107.203.48 ( talk) 15:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
How this frankly sloppy spelling error has been let pass in an article of such length is appaling. Fitzgerald is not ever given a capital G and this should be altered in the title and in the body of the text. I will edit the body given more free time, until then has anyone the ability to change the title?
People who cannot spell should not be permitted to use wikipedia. Ste01 ( talk) 01:32, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
A lot of POV rv from the article; past tensing in light of his death. Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 11:50, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
"Mo ainm" edited out this very important aspect which should be included. The 1965 Extradition Act had allowed suspects to avoid extradition if they claimed an alleged crime was a "political" offence, and the 1987 Act ended that. Fitzgerald had another reason not connected with the North as the 1977 European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism had to be legislated for. The 1987 Act had been drafted and redrafted for some years before 1987, and was very important at the time. Some people don't like the word "terrorist" but that is the word that the Convention used. 86.42.207.42 ( talk) 11:54, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Spleodrach, the link " Dublin South-East" should be linked to the redirect " Dublin South-East" per WP:NOTBROKEN. The constituency was never known by the name of Dublin Bay South during FitzGerald's lifetime, so directly linking to that title in this article is an unnecessary anachronism. ‑‑ Neveselbert ( talk · contribs · email) 02:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
