Frank Drohan (13 August 1879 – 5 March 1953) was an Irish politician.[1] He was elected unopposed at the 1921 elections for the Waterford–Tipperary East constituency as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) in the 2nd Dáil.[2]
He was personally opposed to the Anglo-Irish Treaty signed on 6 December 1921, but the local Sinn Féin branch instructed him to vote in favour; he felt the only honourable course was to submit his resignation, which was read out by the Ceann Comhairle Eoin MacNeill on 5 January 1922,[3] two days before the Dáil voted to accept the Treaty.
Frank Drohan Road is the section of the N24 serving as an inner relief road outside Clonmel.[4]
