In the 2020 Irish general election, Guirke was elected as a TD for Meath West, topping the poll.
In August 2022 the Irish Independent reported that Guirke failed to register one of his rental properties with the Residential Tenancies Board.[6] He was warned by Sinn Féin that any further lapses in registration of rental properties “will result in disciplinary action from the party”.[7]
Guirke moved to Boston in 1988, where he worked in the construction industry for 18 years, before moving back to Meath.[8]
Guirke met his wife Mary while living in Boston, and the couple have four children.[9]
