Edward Marum

Edward Purcell Mulhallen Marum (5 October 1822 – 21 September 1890), was an Irish politician in the United Kingdom House of Commons.

He stood unsuccessfully as a Home Rule candidate for the United Kingdom House of Commons at a by-election at Kilkenny City in 1875. He was subsequently elected as Member of Parliament for County Kilkenny as a Parnellite Home Ruler in 1880, topping the poll, and held the seat until the constituency was divided for the 1885 general election. He was then elected for the new North Kilkenny constituency, and held that seat until his death.

He was a very eloquent speaker. He supported Horace Plunkett's efforts to establish agricultural co-operatives by addressing local meetings, but died of heart disease before he had been able to attend more than three or four.^[1]
