Séamus F. Hughes (1 September 1952 – 12 July 2022) was an Irish District Court judge and Fianna Fáil politician.[1] [2]
He was from Westport, County Mayo. Hughes was a solicitor, when he was elected to the 27th Dáil as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo West constituency on his first attempt at the 1992 general election.[3] He lost his seat at the 1997 general election when the constituency was combined with Mayo East and the combined Mayo constituency was reduced to 5 seats.[4] Hughes was then appointed State Solicitor for County Mayo.
Hughes was a District Court judge from 2009 to 2022, sitting in District Court area Number One in County Donegal.[5] He attracted criticism over comments on the ethnic backgrounds of those before him in court, having described some as "neanderthals" and commented on social welfare being like "snuff at a wake".[6]
