James McGirr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James McGirr was born in Parkes on 6 February 1890, and was the Labor Premier of New South Wales 6 February 1947 - 3 April 1952.
In the state election of 1950 Labor only just scraped back into office, depending for its survival on independent parliamentarians. This was the nearest to outright defeat that Labor came in its twenty-four-year rule of New South Wales (1941 - 1965).
McGirr died in Strathfield on 27 October 1957, aged 67.
