Laurence Ginnell (1852-1923) was an Irish nationalist politician, lawyer and was
eklected Irish Parliamentary Party MP iat Westminster for Westmeath North at the
1906 UK general election. From 1910 he sat as an Independent Nationalist and at the
1918 general election he was elected for Sinn Féin. The last great social and agrarian
campaign of the home rule movement – the Ranch War (1906 and 1909), was largely
led and organised by Ginnell.
In Westminster he was highly critical of the British Government’s war policy, and its
executions of the Easter Rising leaders. On 9 May he accused the British Prime
Minister H. H. Asquith, of “Murder”, and was forcibly ejected from the assembly
He was imprisoned in March 1918 for encouraging agitation, and later deported to
Reading Gaol. In the 1918 general election, he was elected as a Sinn Féin MP and in
1919 sat in Dáil Éireann.. Ginnell was appointed Director of Propaganda of the Irish
Republic. He was appointed the Representative of the Irish Republic in Argentina and
South America. He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and was elected as an anti-Treaty
Sinn Féin TD at the 1922 general election. He returned to the United States soon after
this to serve as the Ant-Treaty Republicans’ envoy and died there in 1923.
