Gary Gannon has been a Social Democrats TD in Dublin Central since the 2020 General Election. He is the party's spokesperson for Education, Higher Education, Arts, Social Protection, Foreign Affairs and Defence. He was originally an Independent TD before joining the newly-formed Social Demcrats in 2015.

I have a strong record for standing up for the people of Dublin Central on issues across the board. I’m immensely proud to represent Dublin Central where I’ve been a TD since 2020 and a Councillor since 2014. I’m running because I believe the Social Democrats and I have the answers to the intractable issues we face, and that we can make a real difference to people’s lives.
