Seán Sherwin (born 1946) is an Irish former Fianna Fáil politician.[1]
He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Dublin South-West constituency at the 1969 general election. However, Dublin South-West's long-serving Labour Party TD Seán Dunne, who had been re-elected at the general election, died only seven days after polling. Sherwin was selected as the Fianna Fáil candidate at the by-election on 4 March 1970, and won, taking his seat in the 19th Dáil.[2]
He resigned from Fianna Fáil in 1971 in the wake of the Arms Crisis, and joined Kevin Boland's new party Aontacht Éireann.[3] The new party failed to take off at the 1973 general election, and Sherwin lost his seat to Fine Gael's Declan Costello.[2]
He later rejoined Fianna Fáil, and at the November 1982 general election he was one of four Fianna Fáil candidate in Dublin West. He won only 2.1% of the first-preference votes and was not elected.[2]
