Séan Francis Gibbons (31 May 1883 – 19 April 1952) was an Irish politician who sat as Cumann na nGaedheal Teachta Dála (TD) in the 1920s and as a Fianna Fáil TD in the 1930s. He later became a Senator, and was Cathaoirleach (chairperson) of the Seanad for five years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. Séan Gibbons )〕 Gibbons was elected to Dáil Éireann on his first attempt, as a Cumann na nGaedheal candidate in the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency at the 1923 general election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Séan Gibbons )〕 However, he was not an active participant in proceedings because his health was poor, requiring him to leave the country at one point.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Dáil Éireann )〕 He left Cumann na nGaedhael to join the Farmers' Party and resigned his seat in the 4th Dáil on 30 October 1924, only 14 months after his election.〔For evidence of Gibbons's membership of the Farmers' Party, see the exchange between O'Higgins, Gorey and Gibbons at (Dáil Éireann Official Report - Volume 9 - 22 October 1924 ), column 59.〕 The by-election was held on 11 March 1925 and won by Cumann na nGaedheal's Thomas Bolger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carlow–Kilkenny By-election: 11 March 1925 )〕 After the collapse of the Farmers' Party in 1927, Gibbons joined Fianna Fáil and stood for them as a candidate in Carlow–Kilkenny at the 1932 general election, winning one of his party's fifteen new seats in the 7th Dáil. He was returned at the 1933 general election, but after the constituency was divided under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935, he lost his seat at the 1937 general election in the new Kilkenny constituency. He then stood as a Fianna Fáil candidate for election to Seanad Éireann on the Agricultural Panel, winning a seat in the 2nd Seanad and becoming Cathaoirleach. He remained as Cathoirleach in the 3rd Seanad, holding the office until 1944, when he was re-elected to the 4th Seanad. He did not sit in the 5th Seanad but was re-elected by the Agricultural Panel to the 6th Seanad, sitting from 1948 to 1951. He died on 19 April 1952, aged 68. Five years later, his nephew Jim Gibbons was elected as a Fianna Fáil TD in the restored Carlow–Kilkenny constituency, where Jim's son Martin was a Progressive Democrat TD from 1987 to 1989. Another of Jim's sons, Jim, Jnr was a Progressive Democrat Senator. ==See also== *Families in the Oireachtas 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seán Gibbons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
