Edward McCullagh

Edward Vincent McCullagh was a nationalist politician and farmer in Northern Ireland.

McCullagh was a member of Omagh Rural District Council and was active in his local Gaelic Athletic Association. In 1948, he won a by-election in Mid Tyrone and was elected to the Parliament of Northern Ireland for the Nationalist Party. His chief interests in Parliament were farming and rural issues.Brendan Lynn, "Holding the Ground: The Nationalist Party in Northern Ireland, 1945 - 72" (1997), ISBN 1855219808]

McCullagh held his seat at the 1949 general election, then worked with the Nationalist MPs Cahir Healy and Joe Connellan and the independent Republican Charles McGleenan in lobbying for admission to the Dáil, as elected representatives of territory it claimed.Michael Farrell, "Northern Ireland: The Orange State"] A motion from Con Lehane proposing this was rejected.

McCullagh lost his seat to the Anti-Partition candidate Liam Kelly at the 1953 general election. [ [http://www.election.demon.co.uk/stormont/biographies.html Biographies of Members of the Northern Ireland House of Commons] ]
