Vincent Rice (21 April 1875 – 27 May 1959) was an Irish politician and lawyer.[1]
A native of County Monaghan, he was educated at St Mary's College, Dundalk and attended University College Dublin. He entered King's Inns in 1900, and became a barrister in 1904 and senior counsel in 1924.[2]
He was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a National League Party Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin South constituency at the June 1927 general election.[3] In August 1927 joined the Cumann na nGaedheal party. Other former independents who joined "Mr Cosgrave's ranks" included Labour independent John Daly and Bryan Cooper.[4]
He lost his seat at the September 1927 general election but was elected as a Cumann na nGaedheal TD for the Dublin North constituency at a by-election on 3 April 1928 caused by the disqualification of James Larkin due to bankruptcy. He lost his seat again at the 1932 general election but was re-elected at the 1933 general election. He stood as a Fine Gael candidate at the 1937 general election but did not retain his seat. He also stood unsuccessfully as a pro-business Independent candidate at the 1943 general election.[5]
He died in Rathmines, Dublin, on 27 May 1959.[6]
