TIMOTHY DANIEL SULLIVAN Timothy Daniel Sullivan was born in Bantry in 1827. Like his younger brother A. M. Sullivan he wrote a great deal of popular verse on patriotic themes but was himself a ‘constitutional nationalist’. The brothers took control of The Nation newspaper and converted it into an anti-revolutionary, anti-Fenian journal. He joined the Irish Party and was elected MP for Westmeath in 1880 and in 1886 was mayor of Dublin. He took the anti-Parnell side when the Irish Party split. He died in 1914.
