Patrick Reynolds (1 March 1887 – 14 February 1932) was an Irish Cumann na nGaedheal politician.
[3] He was nominated as a candidate for the 1932 general election, but during the campaign he was shot and killed on 14 February 1932 by a former Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) officer, Joseph Leddy.
The election in Leitrim–Sligo was then postponed, and when it was held his widow Mary Reynolds won a seat, serving in the Dáil for 25 years.
Leddy was tried in Dublin and received a one-year sentence for manslaughter, the jury citing provocation.
[7] His son Patrick J. Reynolds, who took over and expanded the family business, was a long-serving member of Leitrim County Council, and also a Fine Gael TD and senator, serving as Cathaoirleach of the Seanad from 1983 to 1987.
