Derek Nolan (born October 1982) is an Irish former Labour Party politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway West constituency from 2011 to 2016.[1][2][3]
Nolan attended Saint Michael's Boys' School, Mervue, and St. Mary's College, Galway. He then studied at NUI Galway.[4] He won a seat on Galway City Council in June 2009, aged 26. He was a trainee Solicitor when he contested the 2011 general election.[5] He was nominated to succeed President Michael D. Higgins in the election to Dáil Éireann, in Galway West as a first time candidate.[6] He was a member of the Dáil Public Accounts Committee.
He lost his seat at the 2016 general election.[3] He described the poor Labour result and loss of so many seats for party as "heartbreaking", but also said the challenge of starting a new career was "exciting".[7]
