From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorcan Allen (born 27 March 1940) is an Irish farmer and former Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála TD.
Allen was elected to Dáil Éireann in the 1961 general election as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Wexford constituency. Aged just 21 years and 6 months at the time, he is the second youngest ever TD, after William J. Murphy. He held his seat in 6 succeeding general elections until his defeat at the Nov 1982 general election. He also unsuccessfully contested the next three general elections.
When Charles Haughey appointed his first Government in December 1979 Allen became one of the then 10 Ministers of State, appointed to the Department of Agriculture, a position he retained in the short-serving 1982 Government.
