John O'Connor (Lord Mayor of Dublin)

John O'Connor (Lord Mayor of Dublin)

John O'Connor (c. 1835–12 January 1891) was Lord Mayor of Dublin and an Irish nationalist politician and MP in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and as member of the Irish Parliamentary Party represented South Kerry from 1885 to 1887.

He was the son of a farmer at Staplestown, Co. Kildare, and owned several public houses. He married the daughter of a pawnbroker, a Mr White. He was an alderman of Dublin Corporation and Lord Mayor in 1885.

He won the newly created seat of South Kerry in December 1885 general election by more than 20 to 1 over the "Loyalist" candidate, and was re-elected unopposed in 1886. ["The Times", 1 December 1885, states that O’Connor unsuccessfully contested Co. Kildare in 1880, but this is contradicted by Walker (ed.) (1978).] He resigned his seat in September 1887.
