Thomas Power O’Connor was a journalist, an Irish nationalist political figure, and a member of parliament in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for nearly fifty years. O’Connor was elected Member of Parliament for Galway Borough in the 1880 general election, as a representative of the Home Rule League. At the next general election in 1885, he was returned both for Galway and for the Liverpool Scotland constituencies, which had a large Irish population; he chose to sit for Liverpool, and represented that constituency in the House of Commons from 1885 until his death in 1929. O’Connor founded and was the first editor of several newspapers and journals: The Star (1887), The Weekly Sun (1891), The Sun (1893), M.A.P. and T.P.‘s Weekly (1902). (Wikipedia)
