Fahy, Francis Patrick (‘Frank’)
Contributed by
White, Lawrence William; Ferriter, Diarmaid

Forename: Francis, Patrick
Surname: Fahy
Nickname: Frank
Gender: Male
Career: Politics, Irish Language
Born 23 May 1879 in Co. Galway
Died 12 July 1953 in Co. Dublin

Fahy, Francis Patrick (‘Frank’) (1879–1953), politician and Irish-language activist, was born 23 May 1879 at Glenatallan, Kilconickny, Loughrea, Co. Galway, eldest among five sons and two daughters of John Fahy, teacher, and Maria Fahy (née Jones). After receiving initial education at his father's national school at Kilchreest, Co. Galway, he boarded at Mungret College, Limerick, and subsequently graduated from UCG with a BA and an H.Dip. in education and double diploma in science; he was also called to the bar in 1927 at King's Inns, Dublin. On leaving UCG he began teaching at the Christian Brothers' school in Tralee, and afterwards taught Latin, Irish, and science at St Vincent's College, Castleknock, Dublin (1906–21). Closely associated with Patrick Pearse (qv), Thomas MacDonagh (qv), and Arthur Griffith (qv), Fahy became a Gaelic League activist (and, later, general secretary of the league), and treasurer of the Kerry county board of the GAA. During school holidays he assisted Liam Mellows (qv) in organising units of the Irish Volunteers, of which he was a founding member, in his native area of east Galway. As captain of C Company, 1st Bn, Dublin Bde, under Edward Daly (qv), he commanded the contingent that occupied the Four Courts during the 1916 rising. Sentenced to ten years in prison, he spent terms in several British jails. Released in the general amnesty of June 1917, he was active in the reorganisation of the Volunteer movement, addressing public meetings throughout the country. Again arrested during the ‘German plot’ round-up of May 1918, he was deported without trial to Reading jail. Sinn Féin candidate in Galway South, he captured 85% of the vote in the December 1918 general election, trouncing the incumbent nationalist MP William John Duffy, who had held the seat for eighteen years, and commenced a thirty-five-year tenure representing several Galway constituencies that would conclude only in his death (Galway South,1918–21; Galway, 1921–37; Galway East, 1937–48; Galway South, 1948–53). A member of the first Dáil Éireann, he toured the Aran islands and Connemara on behalf of a committee examining options for revitalisation of the Irish fishing industry (a prominent feature of Sinn Féin's economic programme), and was appointed assistant minister for the national language under J. J. O'Kelly (qv). Continuing the while in his teaching post, and seeing active IRA service during the Anglo-Irish war, he is reputed to have appeared in his classroom with eyebrows singed on the day after the burning of the Custom House (25 May 1921). Although opposed to the Anglo-Irish treaty, Fahy took a more judicious and balanced approach to the issue than some of his republican colleagues, denouncing in dáil debate the intimidation of TDs by elements of the anti-treaty IRA. While asserting that, had the treaty been submitted unsigned to the dáil, it would have been rejected by an overwhelming majority, he refused to impugn the honour or integrity of the plenipotentiaries, and acknowledged their unenviable position in the London negotiations. Describing the agreement as a fait accompli on which further argument and decision must be based, he nonetheless asked: ‘Is not the declaration of the republic also a fait accompli, or have we been playing at republicanism?’ (Treaty debs., 195). He clung to the last of seven Galway seats as anti-treaty candidate in the June 1922 election. His approach, on behalf of a Gaelic League peace committee, to Austin Stack (qv) in the hope of arranging a truce during the civil war (December 1922) met with a guardedly favourable response from Éamon de Valera (qv), but was frustrated by the persisting expectations of military victory of the anti-treaty chief of staff, Liam Lynch (qv). Re-entering the dáil chamber with the new Fianna Fáil party in 1927, after the party's victory in the 1932 general election – in which he topped the poll in his constituency – he was elected ceann comhairle, a position he held till 1951, returned automatically to his dáil seat through seven general elections. He also became chairman of both the local appointments and the civil service commissions. Regarded as judicious and impartial in the speaker's chair, he retained the office even after Fianna Fáil's 1948 electoral defeat, perhaps also in recognition of the moderate position he had adopted on the treaty. In 1949 he led the Irish delegation to the meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union at Stockholm, where he spoke of ‘unequal treaties’ and made a forthright statement opposing the partition of Ireland. He presided at the Inter-Parliamentary conference when it met in Dublin in 1950. The following year he resigned as ceann comhairle on health grounds. Fahy married (1908) Anna Barton from Tralee, a metal artist and active member of Cumann na mBan; they had no children. Resident at the time of the Easter rising at Islandbridge, during his lengthy dáil tenure they lived at addresses in Howth, Whitehall, and Dundrum. Still a sitting TD, he died on 12 July 1953 as a result of heart disease at his home in Ranelagh, Dublin.

Frank Fahy (politician)

Francis Patrick Fahy (23 May 1879 – 12 July 1953) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who served as Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann from 1932 to 1951. He served as a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1919 to his death in 1953.[1]

He was a Teachta Dála (TD) for 35 years, first for Sinn Féin and later as a member of Fianna Fáil, before becoming Ceann Comhairle (chairman) for over 19 years.[2]

Early life and revolutionary period
Fahy was born on 23 May 1879 in the townland of Glanatallin, Kilchreest, County Galway,[3] the eldest of 6 children born to John Fahy and Maria Jones. His father taught at the local National School. After an early education at his father's school in Kilchreest, he attended Mungret College in County Limerick. He later studied at University College Galway. He earned a Bachelor of Arts and a H.Dip. in Education, and a Diploma in Science. From 1906 to 1921 he taught Latin, Irish and Science at Castleknock College (St Vincent's College), Dublin. Fahy qualified as a barrister in 1927 at King's Inns, Dublin and also taught at the Christian Brothers school in Tralee. He was at one time General Secretary of the Conradh na Gaeilge. He married Anna Barton of Tralee, a metal artist and member of the Cumann na mBan in 1908. They had no children.[2]

As Company Captain of C Company, 1 Battalion, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers, Fahy commanded the contingent that occupied the Four Courts during the 1916 rising. Arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison, he spent terms in several British jails. Released in the general amnesty of June 1917, he was active in the reorganisation of the Volunteer movement, addressing public meetings throughout the country.[2] Fahy later applied to the Irish government for a service pension under the Military Service Pensions Act, 1934 and was awarded 5 and 1/6 years service in 1937 at Grade D for his service with the Irish Volunteers from 23 April 1916 to June 1917.[4]

Fahy was first elected at the 1918 general election as a Sinn Féin Member of Parliament (MP) for Galway South, but as the party was pledged to abstentionism he did not take his seat in the British House of Commons and joined the revolutionary First Dáil. He was re-elected as TD for Galway in 1921 general election and having sided with the anti-treaty forces following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, he did not take his seat in either the 3rd Dáil or the 4th Dáil. He joined Fianna Fáil when the party was founded in 1926, and along with the 42 other Fianna Fáil TDs he took his seat in the 5th Dáil on 12 August 1927,[5] three days before the Dáil tied 71 votes to 71 on a motion of no confidence in W. T. Cosgrave's Cumann na nGaedheal government (a tie broken by the Ceann Comhairle).[6] After the government won two by-elections later that month, it dissolved the Dáil, leading to a fresh election.

After the September 1927 election, Cosgrave was able to form a minority government with the support of the Farmers' Party and some independent TDs. However, in the 1932 general election, Fianna Fáil won just under half of the seats and formed a government with the support of the Labour Party. The first business was of the 7th Dáil was the election of the Ceann Comhairle, and on 9 March 1932 Fahy was nominated for the position by Seán T. O'Kelly, winning the vote by a margin of 78 to 71.[7]

He held the post until Fianna Fáil lost the 1951 election, and at the start of the 14th Dáil he did not offer himself for re-election as Ceann Comhairle. He was succeeded by the Labour TD Patrick Hogan.[8] His 19 years in the chair remains the longest of any Ceann Comhairle, with the only other person to exceed 10 years as Ceann Comhairle being his successor, Patrick Hogan.[9]

The 1932 election was the last which Fahy contested; as Ceann Comhairle, he was automatically re-elected at the next seven elections. When his Galway constituency was divided for the 1937 general election, he was returned unopposed for the new Galway East, and similarly in 1948 for the new Galway South constituency.[10]

Fahy died on 12 July 1953,[11] and is buried at Deans Grange Cemetery, Dublin. The Galway South by-election held after his death was won by the Fianna Fáil candidate Robert Lahiffe.[12]

Monsignor Raphael P. Keyes (February 9, 1938 - July 14, 2010)

Raphael Patrick Keyes was born on February 9, 1938 in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland, the son of the late Raphael Patrick Keyes and Bridget (O’Sullivan) Keyes. Father Keyes was baptized at St. Finnbarr Church on February 9, 1938 and confirmed by Bishop Daniel Cohalan of Cork, Ireland on May 7, 1958. He is survived by his brother, Markus and sister, Cait. His brother Michael preceded him in death.

Father Keyes received his primary education at St. Finnbarr’s Primary School 1942-1951; later at Mungret College, Limerick 1951-1957 and finally at St. Kieran’s College 1958-1964. For a short period of time, Father Keyes was a novice of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus until he joined the Diocese of Jefferson City as a seminarian in 1958. He received Subdiaconate and Diaconate in Ireland in 1963.

He was ordained to the Holy Priesthood of Jesus Christ on June 7, 1964 for the Diocese of Jefferson City by the Most Reverend Peter Birch, Bishop of Ossory, in the Cathedral of St. Mary, Kilkenny, Ireland. Bishop Joseph M. Marling, CPPS of Jefferson City, welcomed him to the United States and assigned him as an assistant at St. Francis Xavier, Taos in July 1964; and then on March 16, 1966 to the first cathedral of the Diocese, St. Peter’s in Jefferson City.

With continued missionary spirit, in 1967 Father Keyes responded to Bishop Marling’s call for priests to serve in the newly-formed missions in Peru. Amid the challenges of political tension and upheaval during the 1960’s and 1970’s in his new mission field, Father Keyes served with distinction at Marcona and Nasca for 35 years. He was a Coordinator of the Mission Team for 20 years, and for many years served as an advisor to the Peruvian Bishops Conference.

On May 28, 1989, Father Keyes celebrated his Silver Jubilee of Ordination at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Jefferson City with Bishop Michael F. McAuliffe and his fellow jubilarian classmates.

When Father Keyes returned to priestly service within the Diocese of Jefferson City, on July 1, 2002 Bishop John R. Gaydos appointed him administrator of St. Anthony Church in Camdenton. On November 1, 2002, he was appointed pastor of the Parish of St. Anthony in Camdenton and the Mission of Our Lady of Snows in Climax Springs. Then, on July 1, 2009, he was appointed pastor of St. Bernadette Church in Hermitage, in addition to his other pastoral responsibilities. He served these parishes until his death.

Father Keyes was an appointed member of the Presbyteral Council from June 1, 2002 until his death. During his time on the Presbyteral Council, he held the offices of Secretary, Vice Chair, and then Chair from 2007 to 2010. He was appointed a Diocesan Consultor from 2003 to 2008. At the time of his death, he was a member of the Diocese of Jefferson City Mission Committee from April 2003 and a member of the Priests’ Mutual Benefit Society Board from June 2005. Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI named him a Prelate of Honor on June 28, 2006.

Internment will take place at a later date in Bantry, Ireland.
