Richard Dane
Richard Martin Dane (4 December 1852 – 22 March 1903)[1] was an Irish Unionist politician who later became a judge.
He was elected at the 1892 general election as Member of Parliament for North Fermanagh, winning the seat which had been held until the election by the Nationalist MP Willie Redmond.[2] Redmond had sided with the Parnellite minority when the Irish Parliamentary Party split in 1891, and in 1892 he won a seat in East Clare; Dane's victory in North Fermanagh over an Anti-Parnellite candidate made him the first in a series of Unionists who represented the constituency until its abolition in 1918.
Dane was re-elected in 1895, defeating an independent Liberal candidate, and held the seat until he left the House of Commons in 1898 to become a County Court judge.[2]
