Martin Quinn (born 24 December 1949) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He was Mayor of Galway from 2000 to 2001. Quinn was born in Galway's College Road on Christmas Eve, 1949. His parents were Frank Quinn and Maureen Linnane, both of Ardrahan, who married in 1935. Frank was related to Ellen Quinn who was killed during the Irish War of Independence. He was the twelfth of nineteen children. Quinn is perhaps unique in being the only modern Mayor who can trace his genealogy back to the Tribes of Galway, as he is descended from the Bodkin family.
