From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Éighneachán Ó hAnnluain[1] (Irish pronunciation: [ˈeːnʲəxaːn̪ˠ oː ˈhan̪ˠl̪ˠuənʲ]; 1933 – 14 December 1994; sometimes spelled Éineachán) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician. He was elected as a Teachta Dála (TD) at the 1957 general election for the Monaghan constituency.[2] He was one of four successful Sinn Féin candidates in that election, the others being Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, John Joe McGirl and John Joe Rice. None of the four took their seats, for Sinn Féin ran on an abstentionist platform.
