John Crowley (Irish politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr John Crowley (died 1934) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician and medical practitioner.
He was elected as a Sinn Féin MP for the Mayo North constituency in the 1918 general election. In January 1919, Sinn Féin MPs refused to recognise the Parliament of the United Kingdom and instead assembled at the Mansion House in Dublin as a revolutionary parliament called Dáil Éireann.[1] He was elected unopposed as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo North and West constituency in the 1921 elections. He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and voted against it. He was re-elected unopposed for the same constituency in the 1922 general election, this time as an anti-Treaty Sinn Féin TD, and he did not take his seat in the Dáil. He was elected as a Republican TD for Mayo North constituency in the 1923 general election and once again he did not take his seat. He did not contest the June 1927 general election.
