Biography

Michael Loughrey's priorities are tackling "immigration, NGOs, and housing". He ran unsuccesfully for Clare County Council in the 2024 Local Elections. During that campaign, he faced criticism for not being aware of issues affecting the local area because he did not live in Co Clare, instead living over the border in Co Galway.
