Together we are stronger
I believe in the power of inclusivity, tolerance, and unity to build a brighter future for Dublin and Ireland.
Manifesto
Dublin is confronted with a multitude of challenges, including the lack of affordable housing, a
consistent surge in living expenses, a flawed immigration and asylum system, and an increase
in safety concerns. These interconnected issues not only burden our citizens but also underscore the need for decisive action to safeguard our city’s future prosperity and social cohesion. Drawing from his journey as an immigrant who diligently worked his way up to success as an entrepreneur, Umar Al-Qadri brings first-hand experience to the table, making him exceptionally equipped to address these urgent challenges.
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
