Seán McCool (Irish: Seán MacCumhaill) (died 1 May 1949) was a prominent Irish Republican and a former chief of staff of the Irish Republican Army. Imprisoned on numerous occasions, North and South, he embarked on a number of hunger strikes and also stood as a candidate for Clann na Poblachta before leaving that party because of their decision to go into government with Fine Gael. He was described by Peadar O’Donnell as “...deeply read but very much the IRA man”.. He was also prominent within the GAA in his native County Donegal and the current home ground of the Donegal GAA, MacCumhaill Park, is named in his honour.
