Tom Parlon was educated at Coolderry National School, Roscrea CBS, and Gurteen Agricultural College. He was elected to [[Dáil Éireann]] for the first time in the [[Irish general election, 2002|2002 general election]] as a Progressive Democrats candidate. He was appointed [[Minister of State (Ireland)|Minister of State]] on one of his first days in the Dáil. Previous to being a politician Parlon held a number of senior positions in the [[Irish Farmers' Association]], including Deputy-President (1991–1993) and President (1997–2001). In the period before the 2002 general election, it was some time before he could make up his mind whether to stand for [[Fine Gael]] or the Progressive Democrats. He became President of the Progressive Democrats party in September 2006 after [[Michael McDowell]] took over as party leader. He lost his seat in the [[Irish general election, 2007|2007 general election]]. |

He announced on 10 July 2007, that he was quitting politics and would not seek a nomination to [[Seanad Éireann]], or to contest the leadership of the Progressive Democrats. Instead he took up the position of Director General of the Irish Construction Industry Federation, receiving an annual salary of €250,000.<ref>[http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/0710/pds.html Parlon quits PDs for construction industry job] – ''[[RTÉ News]]'', 10 July 2007.</ref> |

A complaint about Parlon appearing in an advertisement for animal feed was made to the [[Standards in Public Office Commission]]. The Commission advised that it is not appropriate for a serving office holder to be associated with the commercial promotion of particular products unconnected with the official duties of that person.<ref name=sipo>[http://www.sipo.gov.ie/en/Reports/AnnualReports/AnnualReport2005/Name,5300,en.htm Annual Report 2005, Standards in Public Office Commission]</ref> |

In December 2003 Parlon was attacked by fellow ministers for claiming the decentralisation plan being implemented in Laois was all down to him, when in fact he had no input into the plan at all.{{Fact|date=January 2008}} Also in taking up his position as Director General of the Construction Industry Federation in 2007, after having a prominent position in the Office of Public Works have led to accusations of a conflict of interest.{{Fact|date=January 2008}}. In 2008, Parlon publically took credit for effecting a policy reversal by the Department of Finance on the procurement procedure for State building projects. It was subsequently revealed that the decision had come from Local Authorities and not from Parlon. |

Parlon's tenure as Director General of the Construction Industry Federation has been stormy as he has presided over the collapse of the Irish construction sector. His slavish love of the media, the poor pay deal he negotiated at the 2008 Social Partnership talks and his inability to halt the meltdown in the Irish construction sector have lead many in the construction sector to question his motivation for taking up the €250,000 post, and ability to do his job. |
