Roderic O'Gorman
Roderic O'Gorman (born 12 December 1981) is an Irish Green Party politician who has served as leader of the Green Party since July 2024. He has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin West constituency since 2020. He previously served as Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth from 2020 to 2025 and chair of the Green Party from 2011 to 2019.
O'Gorman is originally from Mulhuddart, a small outer suburb of Dublin. He now lives in Blanchardstown. He completed an undergraduate law degree at Trinity College Dublin, followed by a Master of Laws in European Union (EU) law in the London School of Economics. In 2011 he completed his PhD, with a dissertation entitled 'Union citizenship, social rights and the Marshallian approach', at Trinity College Dublin.
O'Gorman started an academic career at Griffith College, where he lectured and was a course director for five years. He next worked as a law lecturer in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University. He served as the programme chair of the Bachelor of Arts in Economics, Politics and Law. He has taken leave in order to serve as a TD.
He has openly identified as gay. He has said that he knew he wanted to be a politician even before he identified his sexual orientation.
In August 2023, he married his long-term partner Ray Healy.
O'Gorman's first engagement with green politics came at the age of 10 years when he canvassed on behalf of his local councillor Trevor Sargent, in his successful bid at the 1992 general election.
O'Gorman joined the Young Greens while studying law at Trinity College Dublin in the early 2000s. He supported John Gormley in his bid for the leadership of the Green Party in 2002. O'Gorman was considered one of the most ardent supporters of the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010, which introduced civil partnership for gay and lesbian couples.
He ran in Dublin West at the 2007, 2011, and 2016 general elections, as well as by-elections in 2011 and 2014, but was unsuccessful in all of these. At the 2014 Fingal County Council election, O'Gorman won a seat in the local electoral area of Castleknock, topping the poll to retain his seat in 2019.
