Valentine Browne, 5th Earl of Kenmare
Valentine Charles Browne, 5th Earl of Kenmare (1 December 1860 – 14 November 1941[1]), was Lord Lieutenant of Kerry and Earl of Kenmare. He was a peer of the realm and though he was a Roman Catholic, he was also a unionist, which was uncommon at the time for Roman Catholics. He sat in the House of Lords as a member of the Irish Unionist Alliance. He also was a member of the Senate of Southern Ireland in 1921, but did not attend.
