Declan J. Ganley (born approx. 1968) is an Irish businessman and political activist. Ganley lives in Abbeyknockmoy, County Galway.

Business career

Ganley is currently chairman and CEO of Rivada Networks, a US defence contractor specializing in military telecom systems. In the past, he has been involved in business ventures selling Russian aluminium and in the Latvian forestry sector, where he was made a foreign affairs adviser after it gained independence in 1991. Back in Ireland, Ganley had owned the high-profile jewellery website, Adornis.com, which collapsed after the downturn in the technology sector. A 2006 interview in CNBC’s European Business magazine suggested Ganley had a personal worth of €300 million.

Libertas

Ganley is the founder and is Chairman of Libertas, a lobby group advocating a no vote to the 2008 referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon in Ireland.

Libertas says it is funded by private donations, which is perfectly legal, though donations above a certain amount will have to be disclosed by the group after the referendum. According to the group, Ganley and his wife have already donated the maximum amount of €6,300.
