Thomas Harbison
Thomas James Stanislaus Harbison (8 November 1864 – 22 November 1930) was an Irish nationalist politician.
He was born in Cookstown, County Tyrone, to John Harbison, a general merchant, and Isabella Daly.[1]
Harbison studied at St Malachy's College in Belfast. He became active in the Irish Parliamentary Party, acting from 1906 until 1910 as the election agent for William Redmond and Tom Kettle. In 1911, he was elected to Tyrone County Council.
After attending the Irish Convention, he was elected to Westminster at the 1918 East Tyrone by-election, after Redmond resigned it to contest Waterford City. At the 1918 general election, Harbison was elected in North East Tyrone.
At the 1921 Northern Ireland general election, Harbison was elected on an abstentionist platform in Fermanagh and Tyrone. In 1922, he was elected in the Westminster constituency of Fermanagh and Tyrone for the Nationalist Party. He stood down from the Westminster seat at the 1924 election, and in 1927 took his seat at Stormont. In 1929, he stood down from his Stormont seat, but was again elected to Westminster, serving until his death a year later.
