Mícheál Mac Donncha

Mícheál Mac Donncha (born Michael McConkey) is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who served as the Lord Mayor of Dublin from 2017 to 2018. He has been a Dublin City Councillor since 2011.

Mac Donncha as a child actor played a young version of the actor Marty Feldman in the 1976 film The Last Remake of Beau Geste.

Mac Donncha caused controversy in 2015 when he called the people who run Irish rugby "West Brits" (a derogatory term) because the Irish Rugby team uses "Ireland's Call" when playing outside the country.

Mac Donncha contested the 2016 general election as a Sinn Féin candidate in the Dublin Bay North constituency, one of two party candidates, his running mate Denise Mitchell being elected.

In April 2018, prior to attending a conference in Ramallah, on the status of the city of Jerusalem, Israel announced he would be prohibited from entering Israel to transit to Palestine. Mac Donncha was able to enter Israel and travel to Ramallah. It was later discovered that Israeli officials had mistaken an image caption Ardmhéara Mícheál MacDonncha – as his full name. Ardmheára is the Irish for Lord Mayor.
