VOTE NO.1 UMAR AL-QADRI
FOR INDEPENDENT AND IMPARTIAL
We live in the most diverse constituency in the country, yet this is not reflected in the Dáil. Despite having three State Ministers from Dublin West, you have been let down. Homelessness and the housing crisis are escalating, healthcare is inaccessible, many children are out of school, and our community is becoming increasingly unsafe with rising burglaries and vandalism. As parents, we should have a say in the education of our children. It’s time your voice is heard. As an independent candidate, I stand apart from party politics; I am impartial, independent and committed to being a genuine voice for the people of Dublin West.
I pledge to be a strong, independent voice for you and for Dublin West, ensuring that your concerns are heard and addressed. A Vote for me is a vote for fairness, transparency, and a commitment to make real, positive change in our community.
Manifesto
Salary Donation cOMMITMENT
If elected as your representative for Dublin West, I pledge to donate most of my TD salary back to the community, keeping only a minimum wage for my personal living expenses. This ensures I stay connected with the challenges of ordinary workers while directing funds to benefit our community.
I commit to full transparency about my retained earnings to prioritise public service over personal profit.
Together, we can build a fairer future
As your MEP, I will fight to make sure Europe helps to make sure you are included and valued and included in Dublin, Europe and throughout the world.

What people say about me
I met Dr.Umar some 6 or 7 years ago after he founded the Irish Muslim Peace and Integration Council (IMPIC). I have always found him to be a man of peace and intelligence! He promotes understanding between people of all faiths and none. He is comfortable talking with people from the LGBT community, and he is ready and willing to talk to those who hate him due to the colour of his skin, his country of origin and his religious beliefs. He is a man of peace.
Gary Doyle
Ireland has undergone massive societal changes in recent years. Dr Umar ‘s message is one of respecting difference and bridge building between communities and dispelling the myth that diversity is something to be afraid of! In a time where bigotry and racism are rampant in Europe, his message is all the more relevant now! Ireland belongs to ALL of us! (Whether you arrived last week or have been here for a thousand years!)
Brian Coonan
Dr. Umar is truly an inspirational figure. His dedication to connecting with communities and fostering an environment of tolerance and love is remarkable. His efforts to bridge differences and bring people together are of immense value. I am deeply grateful for his visionary approach and the understanding he brings to diverse groups. His work not only promotes unity but also enriches our collective human experience
