Edward George Richardson (15 April 1903 – 29 December 1987), known as Eddie Richardson, was a Northern Irish politician who was a member of the Nationalist Party. Born in Moybane, near Crossmaglen, Ireland, UK, Richardson worked as a bricklayer and as a farmer,〔(Biographies of Members of the Northern Ireland House of Commons )〕 and was an All-Ireland cycling champion.〔Enda Staunton, ''The Nationalists of Northern Ireland, 1918-1973''〕 He attempted to become the Nationalist Party candidate in South Armagh at the Northern Ireland general election, 1945. He was defeated at the local party convention. He was subsequently elected to Armagh County Council.〔Brendan Lynn, ''Holding the Ground: The Nationalist Party in Northern Ireland, 1945 - 72'' (1997), ISBN 1-85521-980-8〕 Before the 1958 general election, Richardson announced that he would contest South Armagh. A nationalist convention was held in the constituency, but it decided not to put up a candidate against Richardson. As a result, he was elected, and immediately joined the Nationalist Party group.〔 From 1965 to 1969, Richardson served as the Shadow Minister for Sport.〔 He was the only Nationalist MP not to shadow an actual Minister.〔Eamonn McCann, ''War and an Irish Town''〕 ==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「Edward George Richardson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
