Gary Gannon is a TD for Dublin Central.
Throughout his career in politics, which includes six years as a Dublin City Councillor representing the North Inner City and a candidacy for the European Parliament, Gary has focused on pursuing equality of opportunity in education, the provision of adequate services for those in need, and the rejuvenation of our capital city.
Gary has actively campaigned for a cross-departmental task force to look at the issues Dublin faces, from crime and safety to culture and the arts.
He has also been a long-time advocate for ending Israel’s imposition of an apartheid state on Palestinians and their land.
Above all else, Gary believes in civic contribution; only through participation can real progress be truly achieved.
I believe politics is about increasing the minimums a person should expect from living in a republic, be that in education, health or quality of life.
