      Party: Fine Gael
      Constituency: Galway East
      Date of Birth: 1965

      Former Progressive Democrats leader Senator Ciaran Cannon has been nominated by Fine Gael to contest the general election in Galway East. After failing to win a Dáil seat in Galway East in 2004, Cannon was appointed to the Seanad by then-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. Following the PDs' electoral collapse in 2007, Cannon was elected as party leader, an office which he held for less than a year before recommending the party's dissolution and joining Fine Gael in 2009.
