List of Sinn Féin MPs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Sinn Féin MPs. It includes all members of Parliament elected to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom representing Sinn Féin. Sinn Féin MPs practice abstentionism regarding the House of Commons and thus do not take their seats.

The article is divided into two sections. MPs elected after 1922 represented constituencies in Northern Ireland only. MPs elected at the 1918 general election or at earlier by-elections were from constituencies in the whole Ireland, during the period of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which ended on the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.
