Edward Augustine McGuire (28 August 1901 – 27 October 1992) was an Irish independent politician, businessman and tennis player.[1]
He was educated at Clongowes Wood College and Douai School. He enrolled at University College Dublin in 1919, but left after a year to go into business with his father.[1]
He was a member of Seanad Éireann from 1948 to 1965. He was nominated by the Taoiseach to the 6th Seanad in 1948.[2] He was elected to 7th Seanad in 1951 to the Industrial and Commercial Panel, and re-elected in 1954, 1957 and 1961.[3] He lost his seat the 1965 Seanad election.[2]
His father John Francis McGuire was a businessman who bought Brown Thomas department store in Grafton Street, Dublin, in 1933.[1] Under Edward McGuire's direction, the old fashioned business was transformed into the most fashionable store in Dublin.[1] Edward McGuire was managing director and then chairman, until December 1970 when the company was sold to Galen Weston.[1]
In 1926, he married Bridget Neary; and they had four children, one of whom was the painter Edward McGuire. Bridget died in 1953 and Edward married Kathleen Rappalle in 1958.[1]
