Eamon Corbett (1890 – 21 August 1945) was an Irish revolutionary and Fianna Fáil politician.^[1]

Revolutionary period

Corbett took part in the 1916 Easter Rising in County Galway with the Irish Volunteers.^[2] He escaped to the United States of America in September 1916 and was involved in republican circles until he returned to Ireland in November 1917. During an attempt to evade arrest in March 1918, Corbett fired at the police and was captured. He was imprisoned from September 1918 until September 1919. During the Irish War of Independence, he took part in a number of operations and attacks on British forces. During the Truce period, Corbett was appointed Divisional Vice Commandant of 1 Western Division, IRA. Taking the anti-Treaty side in the [Irish Civil War], he was captured early on by National Army forces in July 1922 and interned in Limerick Prison and Newbridge Camp, County Kildare until early 1924. Corbett later applied to the Irish government for a service pension under the Military Service Pensions Act, 1934 and was awarded 10 and 29/84 years service in 1936 at Grade C for his service with the Irish Volunteers and the IRA between 1 April 1916 and 30 September 1923.^[3]

Politics

He was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway constituency at a 1935 by-election caused by the death of Martin McDonogh of Fine Gael. He lost his seat at the 1937 general election.^[4] He was re-elected for the Galway West constituency at the 1943 general election. He did not contest the 1944 general election.^[4]
