Frank Crowley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank Crowley (born 1939) is a retired Irish Fine Gael party politician and Teachta Dála (TD) for Cork North West.

Crowley first stood for election in the Cork Mid constituency at the 1977 general election. However, in the landslide victory for Fianna Fáil which saw Jack Lynch returned as Taoiseach with a 20-seat majority, Fianna Fáil took three of the five seats in Cork Mid, and Crowley was unsuccessful.

He stood again at the 1981 general election in the new constituency of Cork North West, and was elected to the 22nd Dáil. He was re-elected at five further general elections until his defeat at the 1981 general election.

In 1999, he was elected to Cork County Council as Councillor for Kanturk, but he did not contest the 2004 local elections.
