Henry Byrne

Henry Byrne

Henry Byrne (6 March 1920 – 6 April 1976) was an Irish Labour Party politician and one-term Teachta Dála (TD).

He first stood for election in as an independent candidate in Wicklow at the 1944 general election, but was unsuccessful, receiving only 534 first-preference votes. He stood again as one of two Labour candidates in the Laoighis Offaly constituency at the 1961 general election, but was unsuccessful.

However, he was successful on his next attempt, as the only Labour candidate in Laois-Offaly at the 1965 general election, taking his seat in the 18th Dáil.

Byrne did not contest the 1969 general election, and polled less than 1,000 first-preference votes when he stood again in the same constituency as one of two Labour candidates at the 1973 general election.

Since Byrne's retirement in 1969, Laois-Offaly has never again returned a Labour TD.
