Anthony O'Flaherty (1800–1866)[1] was an Irish Whig, Independent Irish Party and Repeal Association politician.[2][3]
O'Flaherty was first elected Repeal Association Member of Parliament (MP) for Galway Borough at the 1847 general election and—elected for the Independent Irish Party in 1852, and the Whigs in April 1857—held the seat until July 1857 when he was unseated due to bribery by his agents.[2][4]
