Election 2020: Roderic O’Gorman (Green Party)

Roderic O’Gorman (38) won the last seat in Dublin West after a closely fought contest with Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger. Mr O’Gorman, who hails from Tyrellstown but lives in Blanchardstown, paid tribute to Ms Coppinger and former tánaiste Joan Burton who lost their seats.

Mr O’Gorman said they had a “massive impact both locally and on national politics and despite my own happiness it’s a real sadness to see them both lose their seat today”.

Mr O’Gorman embraced his long-term partner Ray Healy on his victory in the sixth and final count. Elected to Fingal County Council in 2014 he retained his seat last year.

It is his 10th election in 15 years including four general elections, two byelections and four local elections.
