Godfrey Timmins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Godfrey Timmins (6 September 1927 – 11 April 2001) was a former Irish Fine Gael party TD who served for more than thirty years in Dáil Éireann.

A publican before he entered politics, Timmins was first elected to the 18th Dáil as a TD for Wicklow at the April 1968 by-election caused by the death of Labour TD James Everett. He was re-elected in the each subsequent election until the 1987 general election when he lost his seat. He re-gained his seat in the 1989 general election and remained as a TD until he retired at the 1997 general election, when he was succeeded in Dáil Éireann by his son Billy Timmins.
