Known as "the shaking hand of Dublin", Alfie Byrne was born in Dublin in 1882. He was the son of a docker, who died when his son was only thirteen years old. Byrne worked as a theatre programme seller and barman before buying his own pub in Talbot Street, Dublin. He entered politics at the age of twenty-seven, being elected to Dublin Corporation for North Dock ward with a large majority. Byrne was elected to the British House of Commons in a 1915 by-election but lost his seat in the subsequent general election in 1918. In the 1922 General Election, the first to be held in Ireland after the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, he was elected to Dáil Éireann. From then until his death he was an Independent TD, except from 1944 until 1948 when he was a member of Seanad Éireann. Byrne was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin for a record nine successive years from 1930 until 1939 and again from 1954 until 1955. Three of his sons were also TDs in various Dublin constituencies.
