William Patrick Aird (1892 â 31 October 1931) was an Irish politician. An auctioneer, farmer, and merchant, he was elected to Dáil ÃÂireann as a Cumann na nGaedheal Teachta Dála (TD) for the LeixâÂÂOffaly constituency at the September 1927 general election. He died during the 6th Dáil following a failed medical operation, but no by-election was held for his seat, as a general election was held less than three months later.
His grandson also called William Aird was elected as a Fine Gael TD for the Laois constituency at the 2024 general election.
