Hugh Colohan (c. 1868 – 15 April 1931)[1] was an Irish Labour Party politician. A brick and stone layer before entering politics, he was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) for the Kildare–Wicklow constituency at the 1922 general election.[2] He was re-elected at the 1923 general election for the Kildare constituency and was again re-elected at the June 1927 and September 1927 general elections.[3] He died in office in 1931 and the by-election caused by his death was won by Thomas Harris of Fianna Fáil.
