'Sir John Lymbrick Esmonde' (5 February 1893 – 6 July 1958), 14th Baronet of the Esmonde Baronets, was an Irish nationalist politician, son of Dr John Joseph Esmonde MP, Drominagh, Borrisokane, County Tipperary. On the death of his father, he was elected MP for North Tipperary in 1915 while serving as Captain in the World War I with the Intelligence Corps.; he was an engineer.[1]
He was one of five MPs who served in the World War I, the others Stephen Gwynn, Willie Redmond, William Redmond and D. D. Sheehan as well as former MP Thomas Kettle. John Lymbrick Esmonde served with the forces that put down the Easter Rising. He withdrew without defending his seat in the 1918 general election. He subsequently served as Teachta Dála (TD) for Fine Gael for Wexford from 1937 to 1944. His brother Eugene Esmonde won a VC posthumously in 1942 during World War II. He lost his Dáil seat in the 1944 general election.
He inherited the Esmonde baronetcy when the senior male line died out. He was re-elected TD for Fine Gael from 1948 to 1951. In 1948 he was suggested as possible Taoiseach by Seán MacBride, on the grounds that he had no link to either side in the Civil War[2]. He retired from politics at the 1951 general election.
