Roger Sweetman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger Sweetman (18 August 1874 – 20 May 1954) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician.
He was elected as a Sinn Féin MP for the Wexford North constituency in the 1918 general election. In January 1919, Sinn Féin MPs refused to recognise the Parliament of the United Kingdom and instead assembled at the Mansion House in Dublin as a revolutionary parliament called Dáil Éireann.[1] He did not contest the 1921 elections.
