Mairéad Farrell (born 5 January 1990)[1] is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway West constituency since the 2020 general election.[2]

Early life and education

Mairéad Farrell is from the Mervue area in Galway City.[3] Her father, Niall, is an anti-war activist and her aunt, also called Mairéad Farrell, was a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army who became one of the Gibraltar Three (three PIRA members killed by the British SAS in Gibraltar).[4]

Farrell holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and History from NUI Galway and a Master of Science in Finance from Queen's University Belfast.[5]

Political career

Farrell sat on Sinn Féin's National Youth Committee for five years. She represented the Galway City East local electoral area on Galway City Council from 2014 to 2019.[6][7][8] She became a TD for Galway West in February 2020 at that year's General Election.[2] She is Sinn Féin's Spokesperson on Public Expenditure and Reform. She appeared on the Irish Times list of top 50 young people to watch in 2021[9] as well as one of 10 TDs making a name for themselves since the 2020 election[10] in the Irish Examiner.

Farrell is a regular contributor to Irish and international media and has written for the Irish Times, the Irish Examiner and international publications such as CounterPunch.[11]

In June 2023 Farrell was scheduled to appear alongside Clare Daly, Mick Wallace, Catherine Connolly, George Galloway and academic Karen Devine in a neutrality forum hosted by the organisation Galway Alliance Against War, which describes itself as a group in Galway for those who are "opposed to war and military imperialism", prior to the event's cancellation. Farrell said she would be discussing her party's position at the event.[12]

On 22 October 2024 Farrell was appointed chair of the Dáil's Public Accounts Committee, after Brian Stanley's resignation from Sinn Féin.[13]
