Louis O'Hara (born 1997/1998) is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway East constituency since the 2024 general election.[2] O'Hara is the first Sinn Féin TD to represent Galway since the 1920s.[1]

Early life and education

The son of a solicitor,[1] O'Hara is from Cashla, a townland in Athenry civil parish. O'Hara graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Public and Social Policy and a Master of Arts (MA) in Public Activism and Advocacy, both from the University of Galway.[1][3]

Political career

O'Hara joined Sinn Féin at the age of 17, stating he was drawn in by the party's focus on representing young people.[4]

O'Hara missed out on a seat on Galway County Council in the 2019 Irish local elections and again in the 2020 Irish general election.[4]

In 2020 O'Hara criticised Sinn Féin's Northern Ireland Finance Minister Conor Murphy after Murphy stated that Paul Quinn, who was murdered in 2007, was involved in smuggling and criminality.[1]

O'Hara successfully secured a council seat in the June 2024 Irish local elections.[4]

Political views

O’Hara has campaigned on the issues of housing, health, transport, and rural development, with a particular focus on reopening the Western Railway Corridor to connect Tuam and Athenry with Galway City. O'Hara blames corporations for climate change; His 2020 manifesto stated "If we are serious about tackling the climate crisis we must target those who are responsible for pollution".[1]

O’Hara has stated his support for improved mental health services, enhanced rural policing, and called for a "liberal approach" to asylum seekers. He has also highlighted the need for stronger promotion of rural Ireland to attract business investment, citing the halted Apple project in Athenry as a missed economic opportunity.[1]
