Irish National Federation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Irish National Federation was a nationalist political party in Ireland. It was founded in March 1891 by former members of the National League who had left the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) in protest when Charles Stewart Parnell refused to resign the party leadership as a result of his involvement in the divorce proceedings of Katharine O'Shea, the separated wife of a fellow MP. with whom he had had a long standing family relationship.

The group, which had a larger membership than the rump of the former Irish Party or National League who stood by Parnell under the leadership of John Redmond, became known as the "Anti-Parnellite" faction and was led in the first year by Justin McCarthy then by John Dillon, but membership declined during the decade, particularly after the United Irish League (UIL) was founded in 1898 by William O'Brien which sought party reunification.

As a result, in 1900, the Federation joined the UIL merging with the National League under the joint the leadership of John Redmond to form the new reunified Irish Parliamentary Party.
