He was first elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1867. In 1885 he returned to Europe briefly serving as an Irish Home Rule MP at Westminster before returning in 1886 as a private citizen to Brisbane.
Biography
[edit]O'Doherty was born in Dublin on 7 September 1823,[5] although other sources including the Dictionary of Australasian Biography indicate he was born in June 1824.[2]
O'Doherty arrived in Tasmania in November 1849 and released to live in Oatlands.[5] His professional services were utilised at St. Mary's Hospital, Hobart.[2] The other Irish prisoners nicknamed him 'St Kevin'.[6] (see, Christine Kinealy, 'Repeal and Revolution. 1848 in Ireland', Manchester, 2009).
