Patrick James Teehan (14 April 1904 – 25 December 1985) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician, auctioneer and farmer who served as a Senator for the Administrative Panel from 1951 to 1960 and 1965 to 1969 and a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency from 1960 to 1961.[1]
He was elected to Seanad Éireann as a Senator for the Administrative Panel at the 1951 Seanad election, and was re-elected to the Seanad in 1954 and 1957. He was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency at the 1960 by-election, caused by the death of Joseph Hughes of Fine Gael. He lost his Dáil seat at the 1961 general election.[2] He was again elected to the Seanad for the Administrative Panel at the 1965 Seanad election but lost his Seanad seat at the 1969 Seanad election.
