Dave Clohessy (1905–1986) was an Irish sportsman. He played hurling with his local club Fedamore and was a member of the Limerick senior inter-county team in the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1934 all-Ireland final replay, he scored four goals against Dublin, a record that lasted beyond his death.[1]
His brothers, Paddy, Andy and Jack, who predeceased him, also played for Fedamore.[1] Paddy Clohessy later entered politics and was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) at the 1957 general election and held his seat until standing down at the 1969 general election.[2]
