- Timothy Daniel Sullivan (29 May 1827 - 31 March 1914) was an Irish nationalist, journalist, politician and poet who wrote the Irish national hymn "God Save Ireland", in 1867. He was the brother of Alexander Martin Sullivan, also a journalist and politician. He was born at Bantry, County Cork. He was a member of the Home Rule League, supporting Charles Stewart Parnell in the 1880 general election, being "convinced that without self-government there could never be peace, prosperity or contentment in Ireland". He joined the Irish Parliamentary Party when it was established in 1882. When the party split in 1891 he became an Anti-Parnellite until the Nationalist factions were reunited in 1900. Sullivan represented a number of constituencies in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He was elected from Westmeath in 1880 and served until 1885. He then became the first MP from Dublin College Green until he was defeated by a Pro-Parnellite in the 1892 general election. Four days later he was returned unopposed for West Donegal which he represented until he retired in 1900. He owned and edited a number of publications (The Nation, Dublin Weekly News and Young Ireland). In December 1887 he published reports of meetings by the National League. As a result he was convicted and imprisoned for two months under the Crimes Act. Sullivan also wrote the adopted anthem of the All-for Ireland League: "All for Ireland ! One for all !. He was Lord Mayor of Dublin for 1886 and 1887. His 1911 census return is available here.
- Fratello di Alexander Martin Sullivan, anch'egli giornalista e politico è l'autore di God Save Ireland che, composto nel 1867 in memoria dei Martiri di Manchester, fu l'inno nazionale della Repubblica Irlandese e dello Stato Libero d'Irlanda dal 1919 al 1926, quando l'inno divenne l'attuale Amhrán na bhFiann. Fu membro della Home Rule League sostenendo Charles Stewart Parnell nelle elezioni generali del 1880, convinto che, "senza autogoverno, in Irlanda non potessero mai esserci pace, prosperità e distensione". Quando nel 1882 fu creato il Partito Parlamentare Irlandese, vi aderì e quando, nel 1891, il partito si scisse, divenne anti – parnelliano, fino a che le correnti nazionaliste non si unirono nuovamente, nel 1900. Rappresentò vari collegi elettorali alla Camera dei Comuni, fu eletto nel collegio elettorale di Westmeath nel 1880 e rimase in carica fino al 1885, poi divenne il primo deputato del collegio elettorale del distretto di Dublin College Green, fino a che non fu sconfitto da un parnelliano nelle elezioni generali del 1892. Quattro anni dopo fu rieletto senza contrasti per il collegio elettorale del West Donegal, di cui fu rappresentante fino al suo ritiro, nel 1900. Fu proprietario ed editore di varie pubblicazioni (‘The Nation’, ‘Dublin weekly news’, e ‘Young Ireland’) e fu sindaco di Dublino nel 1886 e nel 1887. Nel dicembre 1887 pubblicò i resoconti dei congressi della National League e, come conseguenza, fu denunciato e imprigionato per due mesi in base al Crimes Act.
