Eamon Kissane (13 January 1899 – 20 May 1979) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Taoiseach and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence from 1943 to 1948, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Lands from February 1943 to July 1943. He served as a Senator from 1951 to 1965 and a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1932 to 1951.[1]
A member of a prosperous farming family in Newtownsandes (now Moyvane) in north County Kerry, he joined the Irish Volunteers and was elected to Kerry County Council at the age of 21. He fought in the Irish War of Independence and on the Anti-Treaty side in the Irish Civil War. He was imprisoned by Irish Free State authorities from 1922 to 1923.[2]
Deeply interested in Irish culture, Kissane was a member of Conradh na Gaeilge and worked as a teacher of the Irish language until his election to the Dáil.[3][4]
