Fionán Lynch ((アイルランド語:Fionán Ó Loingsigh); 17 March 1889 – 3 June 1966) was an Irish revolutionary, barrister, politician and judge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. Fionán Lynch )〕 Fionán Lynch was born in Cahersiveen, County Kerry in 1889 and educated in Rockwell College and Blackrock College. He qualified as a national school teacher in 1912 and joined the Gaelic League the same year. He produced a translation of Molière's ''Le Malade Imaginaire'' into the Irish language for the League. He was a founder member of the Irish Volunteers in 1913 and was sworn into the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) that same year. He was a friend of Michael Collins. Lynch fought in the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916 in the Four Courts garrison with Commandant Edward Daly in North King Street. Daly was executed and Captain Fionán Lynch was sentenced to death but had the sentence commuted to 10 years penal servitude. He was imprisoned in Kilmainham Gaol and later in Mountjoy Prison. He was one of the last Irishmen to speak with Thomas Ashe before he died. He was later interned in prison in England and Wales until a general amnesty in late 1917. Upon his release Lynch resumed his paramilitary activities and was elected as an abstentionist Sinn Féin Member of Parliament for Kerry South at the 1918 Westminster Election, becoming a Member of the 1st Dáil. At this time one of the safe houses frequently used by Lynch and Collins was at 44 Mountjoy Square, Dublin, the house of Lynch's aunt Myna McCarthy. As Teachta Dála for Kerry South he spent much time in the county on parliamentary and paramilitary activities. Many meetings were held in Tralee, in the premises of Thomas Slattery who figured prominently in the movement. Here he met Bridget Slattery and they were married in November 1919. They lived in Dublin. He was elected as an abstenionist member of the House of Commons of Southern Ireland and a Member of the 2nd Dáil as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála for Kerry–Limerick West at the 1921 elections. He supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty like almost all IRB members and during the Dáil Debates criticised some Anti-Treaty TDs. During the Civil War he fought with the Irish National Army and rose to the rank of brigadier. He left the army in 1923 to concentrate on his political career. He was elected to the 3rd Dáil at the 1922 general election as a Pro-Treaty Sinn Féin TD and at each subsequent general election as a Cumann na nGaedheal and later Fine Gael deputy for the constituencies of Kerry from 1923 to 1937 and Kerry South from 1937 until 1944.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fionán Lynch )〕 Lynch served as Minister for Education from April to August 1922, as Minister for Fisheries from 1922–1930, and as Minister for Lands and Fisheries from 1930–32. In 1932 he was re-elected to his constituency of Kerry but, with the coming to power of Fianna Fáil, he qualified as a barrister and was called to the Irish bar. In 1938 he was appointed Leas-Cheann Comhairle (deputy chairman) of Dáil Éireann but suffered serious illness and relinquished the post in May 1939. He remained a TD until his appointment as a Circuit Court judge in 1944 to the Sligo and Donegal Circuit. He celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1916 Rising at Easter 1966, shortly before his death. ==References== 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「Fionán Lynch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
