Gillian Toole is an Irish politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Meath East constituency since the 2024 general election.[1] Toole was previously a Meath County Councillor from 2014 until 2024.

Local politics

Toole was elected to Meath County Council as a member of Fine Gael in the 2014 Irish local elections.[2]

Toole resigned from Fine Gael in March 2019, citing frustration with the party's policies, particularly in relation to public transport, healthcare, and community safety. Toole, who had served as a Fine Gael councillor for five years, felt that the party no longer represented the needs of the people of Meath. Her decision came as a shock to local Fine Gael members, as she had been selected to run for the party in the 2019 local elections. In her resignation statement, Toole expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of improvement in areas she had campaigned for and said her experience working part-time in healthcare showed a need for greater attention to the sector.[2]

Following her resignation, Toole continued her political career as an independent. However, the Fine Gael party was later drawn into controversy regarding alleged derogatory remarks made about Toole at a party meeting in Kells, County Meath. It was reported that former TD John V. Farrelly referred to Toole using offensive terms, including a racial slur and an expletive. The alleged comments were said to have been made in front of other party members at the meeting, which was attended by around 20 people. A complaint was filed with Fine Gael headquarters, and the party confirmed that it was investigating the matter. Farrelly issued an apology "for any offence caused", both during the meeting and afterwards, and announced his decision to step aside from his role as constituency chair pending the outcome of the investigation. A spokesperson for Fine Gael stated that such language had no place in public life and was completely unacceptable. Toole, who had left the party ahead of the local elections, did not comment publicly on the incident at the time.[3][4][5]

National politics

Toole's bid for the Dáil in 2024 was endorsed and supported by Senator Sharon Keogan.[6]
