Daniel Mulcahy (1857 – 6 January 1932) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Mulcahy was born at Tamworth, New South Wales, the son of John Mulcahy and his wife Ellen (née Allen). He was educated in Tamworth and he became a miner and investor in Gympie from 1880. After his defeat in politics, Mulcahy worked as a land agent in Gympie.
On 8 September 1885, he married Bridget Mary Ryan. She died the following year. He then married Mary Frances Synan, a school teacher, in 1892. They had three daughters and one son together.[1]
Mulcahy died in January 1932 and was buried in the Gympie Cemetery.[2]
Mulcahy started in politics as an alderman in the Borough of Gympie Council from 1892 until 1900 and was Mayor of the town from 1899 to 1901.[1]
When Andrew Fisher resigned as the state member for Gympie in 1901 to enter federal politics, Mulcahy won the ensuing by-election, beating his opponent, Captain Reid, by just four votes.[3] He went on to represent the electorate until 1912 when he was defeated by George Mackay, a Queensland Liberal.[4]
