| 释义 |
Edward Bennet (1845 – 24 November 1910), of Newmarket-on-Fergus, was the second president of the Gaelic Athletic Association (1887–1888). A participant in the 1867 Rising, Bennet was involved in athletics in Co. Clare, as well as the Land League and Home Rule movements.[1] Bennet became the first chairman of the Clare GAA county committee. By 1887, the GAA had become split along political lines. Bennet received the nomination of the IRB, and was elected president. His presidency was brief, however, lasting only two months before Archbishop Croke intervened to heal the split. Maurice Davin was re-elected, and Bennet lost not only his presidency, but his place on the Clare county board.[1] {{CC-notice|cc=by3|url=http://larnapairce.ie/presidents-of-the-gaa-edward-bennet/}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.newmarketonfergusgaa.com/history.php|title=History of Cora Chaitlín CLG}} {{s-start}}{{s-sports}}{{succession box|title=President of the Gaelic Athletic Association|before=Maurice Davin |after=Maurice Davin |years=1887–1888}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bennet, Edward}}{{GAA-bio-stub}} 3 : 1845 births|1910 deaths|Gaelic Athletic Association Presidents |
