Patrick (Paddy) McMahon Glynn KC (25 August 1855 – 28 October 1931) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Australian House of Representatives from 1901 to 1919, representing South Australia (1901-1903) and Angas (1903-1919) for the Free Trade Party and its successors the Anti-Socialist Party, Commonwealth Liberal Party and Nationalist Party. In federal politics, he served variously as Attorney-General (1909-1910), Minister for External Affairs (1913-1914) and Minister for Home and Territories (1917-1920).

He had previously been a member of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1887 to 1890, representing Light, and 1895 to 1896 and 1897 to 1901, representing North Adelaide. This had included a brief stint as Attorney-General of South Australia in the Solomon Ministry of 1899.

Early life

Glynn was born in Gort, County Galway, Ireland and educated at the French College, Blackrock and Trinity College, Dublin. Glynn graduated with a BA and LLB, and was the medallist for Oratory at the Law Students Debating Society of Ireland in 1880. The same year saw Glynn immigrate to Australia.

Glynn

Glynn (from Irish: an Gleann, meaning "the valley") is a small village and civil parish in the Larne Borough Council area of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It lies a short distance south of Larne, on the shore of Larne Lough. Glynn had a population of 2,027 people in the 2011 Census.

History

The Church of Gluaire is supposed to have been founded by St Patrick in 435 A.D. The ruins of an old stone church still stand within the village boundary. Prior to baronial division, the county of Antrim was divided into the districts of North Clandeboye and Glynns (Glynnes). The area was a vicarage in the Diocese of Connor and ecclesiastical province of Armagh and was a gift of the Marquess of Donegall.

The village is then mentioned in a grant from King James I to Arthur Lord Chichester, Baron of Belfast, of his estates in Antrim, Down and Carrickfergus. This grant was dated 20 November 1620. In a later grant from King Charles II to Edward, Viscount Chichester, Glynn was mentioned as being part of the territory of Magheramorne.
