Members of the Eighth Dáil - John (Jack) Finlay

John (Jack) Finlay (1890 – 30 September 1942) was a famous Irish sports person who played hurling for Laois in the 1910s and in later life was a politician.

Jack Finlay was born in Ballycuddy, County Laois in 1890. He had a love of hurling from a young age and soon joined his local club Ballygeehan. In 1913 Finlay won a Laois Junior Hurling Championship with the club. They moved to senior level the following year and proceeded to win five county championships in-a-row with Finlay as captain. After winning the county title, in 1914, the club had a major say in the selection of the inter-county team for the following year. Finlay was chosen as captain and was joined by his brother Tom.

That year Laois defeated Offaly, Kilkenny and Dublin to win the Leinster Championship. This victory set up an All-Ireland final meeting with Cork, who were red-hot favourites. Laois had no great hurling tradition and this was shown when Cork scored three goals. In the second-half, however, Laois rallied and won the game. Finlay became the only player from Laois to captain an All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winning team.

In later life, Finlay entered politics. He was elected to Dáil Éireann as a National Centre Party TD for the Leix–Offaly constituency at the 1933 general election. He was re-elected at the 1937 general election for the same constituency as a Fine Gael TD. He lost his seat at the 1938 general election.

Jack Finlay died on 30 September 1942.

Members of the Eighth Dáil - Eamon Donnelly

Eamon Donnelly (1877 – 29 December 1944) was an Irish politician.

Born in Ulster and living in Newry, Donnelly was elected as an independent republican member of the Parliament of Northern Ireland in Armagh at the 1925 general election. Shortly after his election, he was served with an order excluding him from Northern Ireland. No official reason was given for the granting of this order.

Donnelly was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Leix–Offaly constituency at the 1933 general election. He did not contest the 1937 general election. He also served as Director of Elections for Fianna Fáil.

In 1938, Donnelly visited his wife's house near Newry, and was imprisoned in Belfast Prison, before being given a choice between paying a fine of £25 or returning to gaol. One again, no reason for his exclusion was revealed. That year, he stood for election to the 2nd Seanad, but was not successful.

In 1942, Donnelly was again elected to the Parliament of Northern Ireland, this time in a by-election for Belfast Falls. He did not take his seat.

Members of the Eighth Dáil - Eamonn Kissane

Eamonn Kissane (died 20 May 1979) was an Irish teacher, barrister and Fianna Fáil politician, who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for 19 years and then as a senator for 14 years.

Kissane was first elected to Dáil Éireann as TD for Kerry at the 1932 general election which began sixteen years of unbroken rule for Éamon de Valera's Fianna Fáil. In the last months of the 10th Dáil, Kissane got his first promotion, as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Lands, from February to June 1943. After Fianna Fáil's victory in the 1944 general election, Kissane was appointed as Parliamentary Secretary to the Taoiseach (the government chief whip) and as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence. He served in that position until when Fianna Fáil was defeated at the 1948 general election, when the First Inter-Party Government took office.

Fianna Fáil won the 1951 general election, but Kissane lost his own Dáil seat in Kerry North. He stood again in Kerry North at the 1954 general election, but was not successful.

After his defeat in 1951, Kissane was nominated by the Taoiseach to the 7th Seanad, and in 1954 he was elected by the Cultural and Educational Panel to the 8th Seanad. The panel returned him to the next two Seanads, but he did not contest the 1965 election to the 11th Seanad, and retired from politics.

The Lord Mayor of Cork

The Lord Mayor of Cork is the honorific title of the Chairman (Irish: Cathaoirleach) of Cork City Council which is the local government body for the city of Cork in Ireland. The incumbent is Terry Shannon of Fianna Fáil. The office holder is elected annually by the members of the Council.


In 1199, there is a record of the appointment of a Provost of Cork, as chief magistrate of the city. From 1273 under Edward I there were Mayors of Cork, the first record of the office (as Mayor of Cork) is in a charter granted to the city by Edward II in 1318. The title was changed to Lord Mayor in a charter issued by Queen Victoria on 9 July 1900; unlike his counterparts, the Lord Mayor of Dublin and the Lord Mayor of Belfast, the Cork Lord Mayor was not entitled to title The Right Honourable. The title Lord Mayor defines the power of a city when compared to other towns and cities around the country. Only Dublin, Belfast and Cork have the privilege of using the title Lord Mayor, as opposed to just simply Mayor.

In a ceremony known as Throwing the Dart, the Lord Mayor throws a dart into Cork Harbour at its boundaries, to symbolise the city's control over the port. This tradition was first recorded in 1759, although it is probably older.

The Lord Mayor is elected to office annually by councillors of Cork City Council from amongst its members. The current Lord Mayor is Cllr. Terry Shannon of Fianna Fáil. The position of Lord Mayor has been rotated between Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Labour Party on an annual basis since 1979 as a result of a controversial pact between the three parties.
