Denis Cullen
Denis Cullen (23 September 1878 – 26 November 1971) was an Irish Labour Party politician and trade union official.
In 1925 the Labour Party identified high taxation as a government weakness and decided to contest the Dublin North and Dublin South by-elections. Cullen, as general secretary of the Irish Bakers, Confectioners and Allied Workers Amalgamated Union, was candidate in Dublin North with Thomas Lawlor, Irish Municipal Employees Union, in Dublin South.[1] Neither of them were elected.[2]
He was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin North constituency at the June 1927 general election.[3] He lost his seat at the September 1927 general election having only served 3 months as a TD.[2]
