Gary Gannon
Spokesperson for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration
Meet Gary
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.
Gary’s Priorities
- Achieve the Minimal Essential Standard of Living (MESL) for all by providing services and supports which ensure everyone can live a life with dignity.
- Improve the quality of education delivered at primary and secondary level.
- Broaden access to 3rd and 4th level institutions.
- Treat addiction with health-based solutions, as opposed to criminalising those trapped in its throes.
- Reduce crime through a form of municipal policing which focuses on community interaction and partnerships.
- Create greater cultural infrastructure, including spaces for performance, visual arts and third places for social cohesion and expression.
- Prevent Ireland from entering or sustaining non-ethical trade agreements with any state which violates human rights agreements, are complicit in illegally occupying land, or imposes apartheid upon another people.

Gary Gannon
Cuir aithne ar Gary
TD do Bhaile Átha Cliath Láir é Gary Gannon.
Ó chuaigh Gary isteach sa pholaitíocht tá sé ag díriú ar chomhionannas deiseanna a bhaint amach san oideachas, ar sheirbhísí leordhóthanacha a sholáthar dóibh siúd a dteastaíonn uathu iad, agus ar athnuachan ár bpríomhchathrach. San am sin, chaith sé 6 bliana ina chomhairleoir do Lár na Cathrach Thuaidh ar Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath agus bhí sé ina iarrthóir sna toghcháin Eorpacha.
Bhí Gary i mbun feachtasaíochta ar son tascfhórsa trasroinne le breathnú ar na dúshláin atá le sárú i mBaile Átha Cliath, amhail coireacht, sábháilteacht, cultúr agus na healaíona.
Tá sé ag labhairt amach le fada an lá freisin i gcoinne iarrachtaí Iosrael cinedheighilt a chur i bhfeidhm ar na Palaistínigh agus ar a dtalamh.
Thar aon ní eile, creideann Gary sa dualgas poiblí; dar leis, ní féidir fíordhul chun cinn a dhéanamh gan cur le chéile.
Creidim gurb é is bunaidhm leis an bpolaitíocht ná an saol a dhéanamh níos fearr do chách, bíodh sin ó thaobh oideachais, sláinte, nó caighdeán beatha de.
Tosaíochtaí Gary
- An tÍoschaighdeán Bunriachtanach Beatha (MESL) a bhaint amach do gach duine ach seirbhísí agus tacaíochtaí a sholáthar a chinntíonn gur féidir le gach duine maireachtáil le dínit.
- Caighdeán an oideachais a sholáthraítear ar leibhéal na bunscoile agus na meánscoile a fheabhsú.
- Rochtain ar institiúidí 3ú agus 4ú leibhéal a mhéadú.
- Réitigh atá bunaithe ar an tsláinte a úsáid le handúil a chóireáil, seachas coirpigh a dhéanamh díobh siúd atá thíos léi.
- Coireacht a laghdú trí shaghas ar leith de phóilíneacht chathrach ina ndírítear ar idirghníomhú agus ar chomhpháirtíochtaí pobail.
- Bonneagar cultúrtha níos fearr a chruthú, lena n-áirítear spásanna taibhithe, spánanna amharc-ealaíon agus tríú háiteanna le haghaidh comhtháthú agus léiriú sóisialta.
- Cosc a chur ar Éirinn comhaontuithe neamheiticiúla trádála a dhéanamh nó a choinneáil le haon stát a sháraíonn comhaontuithe ceart daonna, atá comhpháirteach i dtalamh a áitiú go neamhdhleathach, nó a chuireann cinedheighilt i bhfeidhm ar dhaoine eile.
