| 释义 |
William Rice Kent was an Irish politician from County Cork. Kent and three brothers—Thomas, David and Richard—were involved in a gunfight with the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) at their home, Bawnard, in Castlelyons, County Cork in May 1916, following the Easter Rising, in which Richard was killed, as well as a head constable. Thomas was court-martialled for the killing and executed, and David was sentenced to death, which was commuted to life imprisonment, but William was acquitted.[1] He was first elected as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Cork East constituency at the September 1927 general election.[2] He lost his seat at the 1932 general election. He was elected as a National Centre Party TD at the 1933 general election. He did not contest the 1937 general election.[3] His brother David Kent was a Sinn Féin TD for Cork East from 1918 to 1927.
