Jeremiah McVeagh
Jeremiah McVeagh (1870 – 1932)[1] was an Irish nationalist politician and Member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He was first elected as the Irish Parliamentary Party MP for the South Down constituency at the 19 February 1902 by-election,[2][3] and was again re-elected at the 1906, January 1910, December 1910 and 1918 general elections, and served until 1922 as member of the Nationalist Party. He was an unsuccessful candidate at the 1925 Irish Seanad election.
In 1913 he presented the Jeremiah MacVeagh Cup to the Down County GAA Board. The Cup has been presented to the winners of the annual Down Senior Hurling Championship ever since.
