John Reynolds (Dublin politician)
John Reynolds (1797
Reynolds regarded the Repeal Association as a vehicle for advancing the local interest of Dublin rather than the constitutional question of repeal of the Acts of Union 1800.[6] The Dublin merchant and trade lobby lost influence in the Association to professional men in the mid-1840s, but regained it after Daniel O'Connell's death in May 1847, with Reynolds, then an alderman, coming to prominence.[7] According to Charles Gavan Duffy, it was proved that Reynolds "accepted money extracted from officers for whom he had procured compensation in Parliament".[8] His grave is in Glasnevin Cemetery.[9]
