James Lennon

James Lennon

James Lennon (died 13 August 1958) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician.

He was elected unopposed as a Sinn Féin MP for the Carlow constituency in the 1918 general election. In January 1919, Sinn Féin MPs refused to recognise the Parliament of the United Kingdom and instead assembled at the Mansion House in Dublin as a revolutionary parliament called Dáil Éireann, though Lennon did not attend as he was in prison.
