Denis Gorey: which party?

[edit]

The sources differ on which party Denis Gorey represented at the 1922 election: the ElectionsIreland website records him as an Labour Party candidate[1], while the Oireachtas members' database lists him as a Farmers' Party TD.[2]. However, the matter is clarified by the Dáil debates: Gorey's contribution to the debate on the appointment of a Committee on Standing Orders makes it clear that he speaks for the Farmers' Party[3] --BrownHairedGirl (talkcontribs) 02:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ten or nine

[edit]

According to this article there were ten independents elected but according to Irish general election, 1922 there were nine plus one member of the Businessmen's Party. The Business and Professional Group article also states that the Businessmen's Party had a TD elected in 1922 so any ideas if (a) this was the case and (b) if so which of the ten was actually a Businessmen's Party member?

Most likely Michael Hennessy, according info recently added to his article. Snappy (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
