Seán Hayes (Cork politician)

Seán Hayes (otherwise known as John Hayes; died 1941), was a Sinn Féin member of Dáil Éireann in Ireland. He was a newspaper editor (the "Cork County Southern Star" of Skibbereen) and political propagandist.

He was elected unopposed for Cork West in 1918. He did not take the seat he had won in the United Kingdom House of Commons, but like other members of his party he joined the revolutionary First Dáil 1919-1921. He represented the constituency of Cork Mid, North, South, South-East and West 1921-1923. He became a member of the pro-Treaty faction of Sinn Féin before the Irish general election, 1922. He did not seek re-election at the 27 August 1923 general election.

Hayes was arrested during a raid on party offices in Dublin, in November 1919. As a result he was sentenced to three months imprisonment. He was re-arrested in 1920.

He had a total of 12 children - all deceased at this time. He died 1941. He was a member of the IRA in addition to Sinn Féin and Dáil Éireann. He was also reputedly a member of Tom Barry's Flying Column in West Cork.
