William Keogh
William Nicholas Keogh PC (1817– 30 September 1878) was an unpopular and controversial Irish politician and judge, whose name became a byword for betraying one's political principles.
== Background ==
Hw was born in Galway, son of William Keogh, clerk of the Crown for Kilkenny and his wife Mary ffrench. He went to Dr Huddard's school in Dublin, graduated from the University of Dublin: he was called to the Bar in 1840, and became Queen's Counsel 1849. No-one has ever questioned his intellectual abilities: he was a superb speaker both in public and private, he founded a well-known debating society, The Tail-end Club, and published several books on law, politics and literature. Despite his later reputation for eccentricity and bad temper, as a young man he was considered the best of company: genial, good humoured and a superb conversationalist. He joined the Connaught circuit where he rapidly acquired a large practice, due it was said to his eloquence and impressive presence; these gifts soon turned him towards politics.〔Fitzgerald, John Donoghue "William Nicholas Keogh" ''Dictionary of National Biography 1885–1900'' Vol. 31〕
He married Kate Rooney in 1841; they had one son, and a daughter Mary who married James Murphy, judge of the High Court.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921'' John Murray, London, 1926〕
