Cllr Dermot Looney is a 27 year old Labour Party representative on South Dublin County Council. He was elected in June's elections for the new 'Tallaght Central' ward, which includes Greenhills, Perrystown, Templeogue and other parts of Dublin 6w and 12 as well as Tallaght.

Dermot is one of the youngest Labour Councillors in the country - combining the energy and passionate politics of youth with more than a decade's experience in a range of local, national and international movements, from anti-war activism to local development issues and workers' rights campaigns.

Having lived in Greenhills all his life, Dermot works as a primary school teacher in Tallaght. Dermot follows in the socialist traditions of the local Labour Party which have helped to sustain the local community for more than 50 years.

Dermot is heavily involved in campaigns for community-led planning against ruthless speculators, and is campaigning to defend and expand local public services including health, transport and housing. As a teacher he has been engaged with local schools to protect staffing levels and resources, particularly for special needs children.

In Dermot Looney, local people have a vibrant, energetic and committed young representative with the principled politics we need on the Council. Dermot's contact details are on the right hand side of this page - please contact him with any queries or comments.
