Joseph McGinley
Dr. Joseph Patrick McGinley (1894-1974) was an Irish Sinn Féin, and later Fine Gael, politician and medical practitioner. He was elected unopposed as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) to the 2nd Dáil at the 1921 elections for the Donegal constituency.[1] He supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty and voted in favour of it. He was elected unopposed as a pro-Treaty Sinn Féin TD at the 1922 general election.[2] He did not contest the 1923 general election, but 25 years later he was the Fine Gael candidate in the Donegal East by-election caused by the death of Neal Blaney. He was defeated by Blaney's son, Neil Blaney of Fianna Fáil.[2]
