Richard Lalor






Richard Lalor (1823 – 13 November 1893) was Irish Nationalist Member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for Queen's County, 1880–85 and for Queen's County (Leix), 1885–92.


He was the son of Patrick "Patt" Lalor of Tenakill, Mountrath, Queen’s County, who had himself been an M.P. for Queen’s County in 1832-35. His eldest brother was James Fintan Lalor and his younger brother was the Australian politician Peter Lalor. His mother was Anna, daughter of Patrick Dillon of Sheane. He was educated privately and became a civil engineer and tenant farmer. Like his brother James Fintan, he was a Young Irelander. In 1852 he married Margaret, daughter of Michael Dunne of Mountrath. He became a magistrate for Queen’s County.


He headed the poll as a Parnellite Home Ruler in the election for the two Queen’s County seats in 1880, ousting the former Home Rule member, Kenelm Digby. He then won the new Queen’s County (Leix) seat in 1885, defeating his Conservative opponent by more than 7 to 1. He won again in 1886, by an even bigger margin.


T. P. O'Connor described him in 1886: ‘Today he is a feeble and bent man with wearied eyes and a thin voice, but his spirit is exactly the same as in his hot youth. In 1848 he had his pike and his thousands of pikemen ready for action; today, as then, he is the unconquerable and irreclaimable rebel – the Blanqui of Irish politics.’[1]


When the Irish Parliamentary Party split in December 1890 over the leadership of Charles Stewart Parnell, Lalor supported Parnell. However failing health prevented him from campaigning in the general election of 1892, and he was ousted from his seat.[2]


He died at his home at Tenakill, Queen’s County, on Monday 13 November 1893. His grandson John Lalor Fitzpatrick (1875–1956) was also a nationalist member of the House of Commons for the Ossory division of Queen's County (1916–18).[3]

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
