Conor McGinn

Conor Patrick McGinn is a County Armagh-born politician who is Chair of the Labour Party Irish Society

He stood as a Labour candidate in Mildmay ward, London Borough of Islington in May 2006, but narrowly lost to the Liberal Democrats by less than 100 votes.

His candidacy for an English constituency as a Northern Irish-born politician in Britain attracted attention from certain segments of the media such as The Irish Post, which reported that he was among the youngest ever (aged 21) Labour candidates in local elections.

In 2003, he received a Young Leaders Award from the Royal Society of Arts, having been awarded a Churchill Fellowship the previous year.

Between 2006 and 2007 McGinn was the Chair of the Young Fabians and previously was Vice Chair of Young Labour (2007).
