Donal Sullivan

Donal Baylor Sullivan (1838 – 3 March 1907), was an Irish nationalist politician and Member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1885 to 1907.

His brother T. D. Sullivan was sitting as one of the two Westmeath MPs until that election, when he moved to Dublin College Green, and Donal had no difficulty in defeating a Loyalist candidate who won only 200 votes.

His nephew Serjeant Sullivan described him in 1927 as 'still well remembered at Westminster as the man who never made a speech and never missed a division during his long years of membership'.

[3] This does not seem to be quite true; for instance, Hansard records a speech on 14 September 1886 but most of his contributions appear to have been questions.
