O'Connor, T. P. (1848–1929), nationalist politician. He left Ireland in 1870 for a career as a London journalist and was from 1883 leader of the Nationalist Party in Great Britain. He became MP for Galway in 1880, transferring in 1885 to Liverpool (Scotland), which he represented as an Irish Nationalist for the rest of his life, retaining the great affection of his constituents with a minimum of effort. Unlike his colleagues he was personally close to Lloyd George and other Liberal and Labour figures. His paid appointment in December 1916 as president of the Board of Film Censors did not prevent him spending the following year fundraising for the Nationalist Party in the USA.
