The son of businessman and Senator L.E Ó Leannáin, Einrí Ó Leannáin Sr. ran for President in 1937 after Oscar Fairfull refused to rerun. Focusing on economic policies in his presidency, Einrí Ó Leannáin was unpopular due to his demagoguery, indecisiveness, and his aggressive foreign policy. It was partly due to President Einrí Ó Leannáin's reputation that his son Micheál Ó Leannáin decided to run for President to redeem the family name.
