Johnny Guirke is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Meath West constituency since the 2020 general election.[2][3][4]
Political career
Guirke was a member of Meath County Council for the Kells local electoral area from 2014 to 2020, first elected in 2014 and re-elected again in 2019. Michael Gallagher was co-opted to Guirke's seat on Meath County Council following his election to the Dáil.[5]
In the 2020 Irish general election, Guirke was elected as a TD for Meath West, topping the poll.
In August 2022 the Irish Independent reported that Guirke failed to register one of his rental properties with the Residential Tenancies Board.[6] He was warned by Sinn Féin that any further lapses in registration of rental properties “will result in disciplinary action from the party”.[7]
Personal life
Guirke moved to Boston in 1988, where he worked in the construction industry for 18 years, before moving back to Meath.[8]
Guirke met his wife Mary while living in Boston, and the couple have four children.[9]
