Peter Hughes (politician)

Peter Hughes (died 24 June 1954) was a senior Irish politician. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann in 1921 as a Sinn Féin TD for Louth. As a supporter of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 he later went on to join Cumann na nGaedhael. He was appointed to the Cabinet in 1924, serving as Minister for Defence until 1927. Although he was a member of the government he lost his Dáil seat at the general election in 1927, and failed to be elected in the two subsequent elections.
