Seán Sherwin (born 1946) is a former Irish Fianna Fáil politician.[1]He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Dublin South-West constituency at the 1969 general election. However, Dublin South-West's long-serving Labour Party TD Seán Dunne, who had been re-elected at the general election, died only seven days after polling. Sherwin was selected as the Fianna Fáil candidate at the by-election on 4 March 1970, and won, taking his seat in the 19th Dáil.[2] He resigned from Fianna Fáil in 1971 in the wake of the Arms Crisis, and joined Kevin Boland's new party Aontacht Éireann.[3] The new party failed to take off at the 1973 general election, and Sherwin lost his seat to Fine Gael's Declan Costello.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.oireachtas.ie/members-hist/default.asp?housetype=0&HouseNum=19&MemberID=1040&ConstID=93|title=Mr. Seán Sherwin|work=Oireachtas Members Database|accessdate=10 November 2012}}
