James Devins (1873 – 20 September 1922) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician. He was elected unopposed as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) to the 2nd Dáil at the 1921 elections for the Sligo–Mayo East constituency.[1] He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and voted against it. He was re-elected as an anti-Treaty Sinn Féin TD to the 3rd Dáil at the 1922 general election.[2] His death in September 1922 "at the hands of former comrades", would indicate that he was a casualty of the Irish Civil War.[3] [4] He was executed without trial with five other comrades who had all surrendered to the Free State troops.[3]
His grandson Jimmy Devins also served as a Fianna Fáil TD for Sligo–North Leitrim from 2002 to 2011.[4]
