Early lifeMcGlinchey was born to Patrick McGlinchey and his wife Sarah (née O'Boyle) in 1932 and educated at Saint Eunan's College. He had six older siblings and one younger one: brothers Danny, John, PJ and Tim and sisters Geri, Eileen and Jo.[1] He was expelled from secondary school.[1] Business careerA restaurant proprietor, McGlinchey founded the Golden Grill Nightclub, renowned as the unofficial Fianna Fáil headquarters and host to party conventions.[6][2] He was a millionaire.[8] Political careerMcGlinchey was first elected to the Seanad by the Industrial and Commercial Panel in 1961.[3] At the 1973 election, he was elected by the Administrative Panel, and he was nominated by the Taoiseach in 1977. He did not contest the 1981 election, but in 1982 he was nominated by the Taoiseach to the 16th Seanad.[3] At the start of his political career McGlinchey was closely linked with Neil Blaney. Paul M. Sacks, an American academic, wrote a book called The Donegal Mafia which detailed the actions of the two and their team.[4] He once debated for 12 hours, a Seanad Éireann record for the longest speech.[6] McGlinchey stood for election to Dáil Éireann in the constituencies of Donegal North-East (1973, 1981, November 1982) and Donegal (1977), but was unsuccessful each time.[5] He was a member of Donegal County Council for the Letterkenny area until 2004.[5] McGlinchey is said to have "practically invented as a politician" Jim McDaid, selecting "the young, presentable McDaid" and setting him on the path for a career in national politics.[6] McDaid achieved what McGlinchey could not, being elected to the Dáil on his first attempt at the 1989 general election, eventually serving in government, as Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation between 1997 and 2002 and as Minister of State for Transport between 2002 and 2004, and being re-elected to the Dáil at every subsequent election until his retirement in 2010. Personal lifeMcGlinchey married Elizabeth and had five children: three daughters and two sons.[4] One of his daughters, Adrienne McGlinchey, featured in the national media in 2002 in relation to the Carty Inquiry. She was born in 1965 in Letterkenny and shared a flat in Buncrana between 1991 and 1995 with Yvonne Devine, a Letterkenny woman who had been employed by a restaurant run by McGlinchey family members in the town. Adrienne McGlinchey was arrested several times in this period, though records seem to exist mainly of one arrest in July 1991. A garda sergeant acquainted with her described her as "a Walter Mitty type of person".[7] Bernard McGlinchey died at home, aged 80, on 11 April 2013.[8] At the time of his death his partner was Kathleen Sweeney.[4] EponymsLetterkenny Town Park is named after McGlinchey.[9]References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.donegaldemocrat.ie/news/local/death-of-a-political-legend-bernard-mcglinchey-80-dies-at-his-home-1-4991481|title=Death of a political legend - Bernard McGlinchey (80) dies at his home|newspaper=Donegal Democrat|date=11 April 2013|accessdate=11 April 2013}} {{Members of the 16th Seanad}}{{Members of the 14th Seanad}}{{Members of the 13th Seanad}}{{Members of the 12th Seanad}}{{Members of the 11th Seanad}}{{Members of the 10th Seanad}}{{DEFAULTSORT:McGlinchey, Bernard}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/fianna-fail-favourite-haunt-the-golden-grill-to-reopen-1484236.html|title=Fianna Fáil favourite haunt the Golden Grill 'to reopen'|newspaper=Irish Independent|publisher=Independent News & Media|date=27 September 2008}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://oireachtas.ie/members-hist/default.asp?housetype=1&HouseNum=16&MemberID=1489&ConstID=210|title=Mr. Bernard McGlinchey|work=Oireachtas Members Database|accessdate=1 June 2012}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/obituary-bernard-mcglinchey-1.1381991|title=Obituary: Bernard McGlinchey - Former senator and pioneering electoral strategist for Fianna Fáil|work=The Irish Times|date=4 May 2013}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.electionsireland.org/candidate.cfm?ID=3004|title=Bernard McGlinchey|work=ElectionsIreland.org|accessdate=1 June 2012}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|first=Liam|last=Collins|url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/lover-drunk-minister-now-doctor-again-26411171.html|title=Lover, drunk, minister now doctor again|work=Sunday Independent|date=30 April 2006}} 7. ^{{cite news|first=Anita|last=Guidera|url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/three-to-play-major-role-as-stories-inextricably-linked-26026200.html|title=Three to play major role as stories 'inextricably linked'|work=Irish Independent|date=5 November 2002}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.donegaldaily.com/2013/04/11/sadness-across-donegal-at-death-of-renowned-politician-bernard-mcglinchey/|title=Sadness across Donegal at death of renowned politician Bernard McGlinchey|work=Donegal Daily|date=11 April 2013|accessdate=11 April 2013}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.donegaldaily.com/2012/05/15/parking-market-square-mayors-plaque-and-tidy-towns-letterkenny-town-council-wrap-up/|title=Transcript from meeting of Letterkenny Town Council|work=Donegal Daily|date=15 May 2012|accessdate=15 May 2012|quote=(ii) Could the Council provide directional signage for the Lawn Bowling Facility at Bernard McGlinchey Park?
