After further boundary changes, he was returned at the 1961 general election for the new 4-seat Cork Mid constituency. He died on 9 December 1964, at the age of 51. The by-election for his seat in the 17th Dáil was won on 10 March 1965 by his widow Eileen Desmond, who sat in the Oireachtas for 22 years. His daughter, Paula Desmond, was first elected as a Cork County Councilor in 1985 for the Carrigaline area, and has been re-elected at each local authority election since. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dan Desmond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
