Alphonsus M. O'Mara (13 October 1887[1] – 16 February 1958) was a businessman and Irish republican Mayor of Limerick from 1918 to 1920.[2]
O'Mara was a son of Stephen O'Mara, Snr, himself a former Mayor of Limerick and briefly an Irish Parliamentary Party MP.[3] Phons O'Mara was the brother of another mayor of Limerick, Stephen M. O'Mara.
In 1918 he stripped Windham Wyndham-Quin, 4th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl of the freedom of the City because of Dunraven's support for conscription.[4] In 1919 he helped negotiate the end of the Limerick Soviet.[5] His business activity related to the family bacon business, and he became owner of Donnolly's bacon factory.[6]
