John Cullinan (1858?

John Cullinan (also spelt Cullinane) was a journalist. He was born at Bansha,

All-Ireland Football Championship final on 29 April 1888.[15] In 1913 he married Rita, daughter of Thomas O'Meara of Cahir.[16]

He was selected as Nationalist parliamentary candidate for South Tipperary for the general election of 1900 at a convention at Cahir on 26 September 1900,[17] and subsequently was elected unopposed. He continued to hold the seat unopposed through successive general elections until December 1918, when he was defeated by the Sinn Féin candidate Patrick James Moloney by 8,744 votes to 2,701.[18]

He died at a nursing home[19] in Dublin[20] on Friday 17 December 1920, and was buried in Tipperary.[21]

Notes

  1. ^ There is some doubt about his date of birth. Online Hansard 1803–2005 currently states '1858'. But Stenton & Lees (1978) give 1857, the Irish Independent 18/12/1920 gives 1838, and the Freeman's Journal 18/12/1920 gives 1852.
