Francis J. Daly

Francis Joseph Daly (* 1886 in Cork ; † February 18, 1950 ) was an Irish politician.

In 1930 Daly, who at that time was a member of the Cork City Council, was proposed by Lord Mayor Seán French as his successor and was finally elected. In 1931 he was re-elected. Thus, Daly held the office of Lord Mayor of Cork from 1930 to 1932. After that he was still a member of the city council. When Seán French, who had become mayor again after Daly, no longer ran for office in 1937, Daly was one of the three candidates alongside his namesake Francis J. Daly and James Hickey . Although Hickey was quickly eliminated, the council members could not choose between the two Dalys and so the election was eventually abandoned. As a result, French decided to be available for another term.

Francis Daly sat from 1943 to 1948 for the Fianna Fáil for two terms in the Dáil Éireann , the lower house of the Irish Parliament . In the 1948 elections, he did not run and renounced the candidacy.
