| 释义 |
The North Roscommon by-election of 1917 was held on 3 February 1917. The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Irish Parliamentary MP, James Joseph O'Kelly. The election took place nine months after the 1916 Rising. The election was contested by Thomas Devine, standing for the Irish Parliamentary Party, who was expected to win comfortably, and Jasper Tully, a local newspaper owner who was running as an independent. An outsider candidate was proposed as an Independent candidate: Count George Noble Plunkett;[1] the father of Joseph Plunkett, who had been executed for his role in the Easter Rising. Count Plunkett was proposed by J. J. O'Kelly (Sceilg), P. T. Keohane and Fr. Michael O'Flanagan, the curate of Crossna in North Roscommon. Fr. O'Flanagan was main organiser of the election, assisted by Larry Ginnell, and many others who came down from Dublin to take on the Irish Parliamentary Party. It was Sinn Féin's first victory for a Parliamentary election and would presage the virtual clean sweep of Southern Irish seats in the 1918 general election in Ireland.
