Moran was elected for the first time as a TD in 2016. He is the current Minister of State for the Office of Public Works and Flood Relief. He is a former member of Fianna Fáil, leaving the party in 2011. He had previously contested two general elections. Moran had been a member of Westmeath County Council since 1999. He was a member of the Independent Alliance in the most recent Dáil.

I have shown in my first term in Dáil that I have delivered both nationally as a Minister of State and for my constituency as a hardworking TD for the people of Longford-Westmeath.

To ensure the constituency continues to get its fair share of central funding, to create the right conditions for job creation and to oversee the continued success of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.

If privileged to be re-elected, I am willing to serve in government if called upon and to do my very best in the national interest as I did in the 32nd Dáil.
