Sir James Power, 2nd Baronet (6 December 1800 – 30 September 1877) was an Irish Liberal and Repeal Association politician, barrister, and Governor of the Bank of Ireland.[1]
Power was the son of John Power, a whiskey distiller and head of the Powers company, and Mary (née Brennan). He married Jane Ann Eliza Talbot, daughter of John Hyacinth Talbot in 1843 and together they had six children: John; James; Thomas; Mary Jane; Gwendoline Anna Eliza; and, Francis Mary Ursula.[2]
Power was elected Repeal Association Member of Parliament (MP) for County Wexford in the 1835 general election and held the seat until 1847 when he stood down. He was later elected MP as a Liberal candidate for the same constituency in the 1865 general election and held the seat until 1868 when he stood down.[3]
Power succeeded to the baronetcy in 1855 upon the death of his father. Upon his death, his son John Talbot Power succeeded.
Power was Governor of the Bank of Ireland, Chairman of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway, and Commissioner for Charitable Bequests in Ireland. He was also a Deputy Lieutenant. In 1859, he was High Sheriff of Dublin City.[2]
