Early life
Hogan was born on 10 October 1885,[2] the only son of Patrick Hogan, a labourer, and Bridget O'Connor of Culleen townland, Kilmaley, County Clare.[3] In the 1901 Census, his occupation is given as house-to-house postman.[4]
When he entered the King's Inns in 1932, he gave his birth date as 8 October 1891.[3]
Political career
As a young man he joined the Gaelic League and the Irish Volunteers; however, he was deported to England for his activities. During the Irish War of Independence he fought against the Black and Tans in County Clare. After the Anglo-Irish Treaty he became an official with the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union (ITGWU). He was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) for the Clare constituency in 1923.[5] He lost his seat at the 1938 general election, and was subsequently elected to Seanad Éireann on the Labour Panel. While sitting in the Dáil, he qualified as a barrister-at-law and was called to the bar in 1936.[3] He remained in the Seanad until 1943 when he returned to the Dáil at the 1943 general election. In 1951 he became Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann, a position he held until 1967. He welcomed United States President John F. Kennedy to the house on 28 June 1963 during his visit to Ireland.
