Fintan Coogan (13 April 1910 – 4 November 1984) was an Irish Fine Gael politician.[1][2] A blacksmith before entering politics, he was a Teachta Dála (TD) for over twenty years, and served three times as Mayor of Galway.
Coogan unsuccessfully contested the 1951 general election in the Galway West constituency, but won a seat in Dáil Éireann at the 1954 general election. He was re-elected five times until his defeat at the 1977 general election by his party colleague John Mannion.[3]
A long-serving member of both Galway County Council and Galway City Council, Coogan served as mayor of Galway city from 1961 to 1962, 1969 to 1970 and 1974 to 1975.[4] He was a member of the Western Health Board from 1979 until his death, when he was succeeded on the board by his son Fintan Coogan Jnr, who was then both a TD and a county councillor, and also served several terms as Mayor of Galway.[1]
