Cathal Coughlan (politician)
Cathal Seán Coughlan (3 October 1937 – 21 June 1986) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann in a 1983 by-election caused by the death of his brother, Clement Coughlan. His tenure as a Teachta Dála (TD) for Donegal South West was short as he died suddenly in June 1986. No by-election was held to fill the vacancy, but his daughter, Mary Coughlan, was elected in his seat at the 1987 general election. She has served in the cabinet as Minister for Agriculture and Food, the first woman to hold that position and is currently the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
