Francis Bulfin (12 February 1874 – 22 March 1951) was an Irish Sinn Féin and Cumann na nGaedheal politician based in Birr, County Offaly,[1] who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) in the 1920s.[2]
He was the brother of William Bulfin. Bulfin was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1921 general election to the 2nd Dáil as a Sinn Féin TD for the Leix–Offaly constituency.[2] He was re-elected as a Pro-Treaty Sinn Féin TD to the 3rd Dáil at the 1922 general election, and as a Cumann na nGaedheal TD to the 4th Dáil at the 1923 election.[3]
He lost his seat at the June 1927 general election,[3] when Cumann na nGaedheal lost two of its three seats in the constituency to the new Fianna Fáil party.[1] Bulfin's local party organisation was described as "non-existent" and the party replaced him with a higher-profile candidate in the September 1927 general election.[1]
Francis Bulfin was born a twin, but his twin brother, James Bulfin, died at birth.[citation needed]
