Rory Hearne (born 1978/1979)[1] is an Irish Social Democrats politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin North-West constituency since the 2024 general election.

[13] Hearne joined the Social Democrats in 2024, and was their candidate at the 2024 European Parliament election for the Midlands–North-West constituency,[13][6] where he secured 15,023 (2.2%) first preference votes and was eliminated after the 12th count.

Hearne advocates for housing policy that prioritises the needs of vulnerable groups, including young people, renters, and those facing homelessness.

He opposes anti-immigrant rhetoric and believes the Irish government, alongside other political parties, has failed to adequately address these concerns.

[3][1] Hearne disclosed on an episode of podcast The Two Norries published in November 2022 that he had been the victim of sexual abuse as a teenager by a perpetrator in his community who was later convicted and imprisoned.
