Patrick Meehan (Irish politician, born 1877) (original) (raw)

Patrick Joseph Meehan (28 March 1877 – 5 July 1929) was an Irish solicitor, politician and Irish Parliamentary Party MP. He represented Queen's County Leix in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1913 to 1918. He was returned unopposed following the death of his predecessor, his father Patrick Aloysius Meehan. During his time as an MP he followed his father's policy of calling for land redistribution, which caused some controversy. His constituency was abolished at the next general election in 1918.
