Chris Andrews
Sinn Féin
A Sinn Féin TD for the last four years, Mr Andrews previously served as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Dublin South East constituency from 2007 to 2011. He lost his seat alongside many other party colleagues in 2011 and eventually resigned from the party when it was revealed he was behind a Twitter account which made negative posts about party leader Micheál Martin. Andrews has been an outspoken campaigner for Palestine for many years and has travelled to Gaza on humanitarian missions. He is related to former RTÉ presenter Ryan Tubridy and had to excuse himself from the Media Committee when the scandal engulfing the presenter and the broadcaster was being probed.
