Donal J. O'Donoghue (5 June 1894 – 26 July 1971) was an Irish school teacher and Fianna Fáil politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Kerry South constituency from 1944 to 1948.[1]
Born in Glenflesk, County Kerry, he was educated at University College Cork and De La Salle Training College. He initially worked at the Greenmount Monastery National School in Cork, later transferring to Barraduff National School near his birthplace. He remained there until his retirement in 1962, by which time he had become principal.[2]
During the Irish War of Independence O'Donoghue was Commandant of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Cork Brigade and Kerry No.2 Brigade.[2]
He was first elected as a Fianna Fáil TD at the 1944 by-election for the Kerry South constituency. The by-election was caused by the appointment of Fionán Lynch of Fine Gael as a judge. He was defeated at the 1948 general election.[3]
Following retirement O'Donoghue lived in Wilton, Cork. He died at Victoria Hospital, Cork, aged 77.
