Patrick Reynolds (1 March 1887 – 14 March 1932) was an Irish Cumann na nGaedheal politician.[1] He was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Cumann na nGaedheal Teachta Dála (TD) at the September 1927 general election for the Leitrim–Sligo constituency.[2]
He was nominated as a candidate for the 1932 general election, but during the campaign he was shot on 14 February 1932 by a former Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) officer named Leddy, dying four weeks later.[3] The election in Leitrim–Sligo was then postponed, and when it was resumed his widow Mary won the seat, serving in the Dáil for 25 years.[4]
His son Patrick, who took over and expanded the family business, was a long-serving member of Leitrim County Council, and also a Fine Gael TD and senator, serving as Cathaoirleach of the Seanad from 1983 to 1987. Pat Joe's son Gerry Reynolds was also a TD and senator.
