Gillian Toole is an Irish politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Meath East constituency since the 2024 general election.

[3] Toole resigned from Fine Gael in March 2019, citing frustration with the party's policies, particularly in relation to public transport, healthcare, and community safety.

In her resignation statement, Toole expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of improvement in areas she had campaigned for and said her experience working part-time in healthcare showed a need for greater attention to the sector.

It was reported that former TD John V. Farrelly referred to Toole using offensive terms, including a racial slur and an expletive.

Farrelly issued an apology "for any offence caused", both during the meeting and afterwards, and announced his decision to step aside from his role as constituency chair pending the outcome of the investigation.
