Seán French

Seán French (8 November 1931 – 25 December 2011) was a Fianna Fáil politician from Cork in Ireland. He was a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1967 to 1982.

French was elected to Dáil Éireann on his first attempt, at a by-election in 1967 for the Cork Borough constituency which was caused by the death of the Labour Party TD Seán Casey. He was re-elected at the next five general elections, but lost his seat at the November 1982 general election and did not stand again.

He also stood as a candidate for the European Parliament, at the first direct election in 1979 in the Munster constituency, but was not elected. His father, also called Seán French, also served as a TD and Lord Mayor of Cork.
