Fianna Fail (sh)




(Irish; "Soldiers of Destiny")

Political party in Ireland, also called, loosely, the Republican Party.

It was formally constituted in 1926 by those opposed to the treaty with Britain that in 1921 brought about the Irish Free State. They were organized and led by Eamon de Valera. Fianna Fail remained the principal governing party from 1932 until 1973, but from 1961 it did so with the aid of Other parties. It returned to power in coalition governments in the 1980s and '90s. Its main opposition was from Fine Gael.
