Thomas Curran (South Sligo MP)

Thomas Curran (1840 – 13 August 1913) was an Irish nationalist politician from County Donegal who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Anti-Parnellite Irish National Federation in the United Kingdom House of Commons.

His son Thomas Bartholomew Curran (1870–1929) sat in Parliament for the same period, as MP first for Kilkenny City and then for North Donegal.

According to Tim Healy:[1] Thomas Curran, a hotel-keeper in Sydney (New South Wales), came to our rescue by lending £10,000 without security.

We put his son (then a law student in London) up for the City of Kilkenny, and himself for Sligo, and both were elected.
