John Matthew Galwey
John Matthew Galwey (1787 or 1788 – 25 March 1842) was an Irish politician.
Galwey lived at Duckspool in County Waterford. He managed the estates of Lord Donoughmore and Lord Cremorne.[1]
Galwey stood in the 1832 UK general election as an Irish Repeal candidate in both Dungarvan and in County Waterford. He narrowly lost the first, but won a seat in the second, as an Irish Repeal candidate. At the 1835 UK general election, he only contested Dungarvan, where he was defeated by a larger margin. He was again unsuccessful there in 1835 and 1837 by-elections, and at the 1837 UK general election.[1][2]
