George Edward Russell (9 April 1912 – 28 November 2004) was an Irish politician and company director.
[1] He was born 9 April 1912 in the family home at 4 Moyola Terrace, Limerick, the eldest of two sons and a daughter of Matthew John Russell and his wife Mary (née Rohan).
His father continued the business and in the 1920s acquired control of Dan O'Connor Ltd, a corn and provisions merchant founded in 1848 by Ted's granduncle.
In 1938 he had a final trial for Ireland and might have achieved international honours but for the outbreak of World War II, though he believed that he was too lightweight.
He was also an unsuccessful candidate at the 1951 general election and the 1952 Limerick East by-election.
