John Finucane (c. 1843 – 23 March 1902) was an Irish farmer and politician.[1]
Finucane was educated at Thurles College (taking first honours in rhetoric, logic and metaphysic) and Maynooth College, with the intention of joining the priesthood.[2] Instead he became a farmer, and was for many years Honorary Secretary of the Limerick and Clare Farmers' Club.[3]
From 1885 to 1900 he was Member of Parliament for County Limerick East, representing the Irish Parliamentary Party. At the time of the Parnell split he was an anti-Parnellite. He lived in Coole House, Caherelly, County Limerick.[1]
