Patrick Fullam
Patrick Fullam[1] (1847 – 18 January 1924)[2][3] was an Irish nationalist politician who served briefly in the 1890s as Member of Parliament (MP) for South Meath, taking his seat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Political career
At the general election in July 1892, Fullam stood as an Anti-Parnellite candidate in South Meath, and in a two-way contest with a Parnellite candidate he won the seat by the narrow margin of 2,212 votes to 2199.[4] However, the result was voided after an electoral petition,[5] and at the resulting by-election on 17 February 1893, Jeremiah Jordan was elected in his place.[6][7]
He died, a farmer, in Donore, County Meath on 18 January 1924.[8]
