Irish Parliamentary Party

The Irish Parliamentary Party (Irish Páirtí na hÉireann Parlaiminteach, dt Irish Parliamentary Party) was founded in 1882 by the leader of the Nationalist Party, Charles Stewart Parnell and thus resulted in the Home Rule League in a parliamentary party with fixed rules. The aim of the party was a self -determining Irish Parliament ( Home Rule ).

Each party member had to swear an oath to stand by the party to act and vote in their favor. This was the first time that provisions have been made to Voters in the Western policy of the political leadership of a party. The members receive remuneration from the funds of the party was still paid.

1891, divided the parties as a result of the scandal at Parnell's affair with the married Katharine O'Shea into two camps, the supporters of Parnell (so-called Parnellites ) and its opponents (so-called anti- Parnellites ). Only four of the supporters of the Catholic Parnell were Protestants, among them Pierce Mahony. But under the leadership of John Redmond and his deputy, John Dillon, there were 1900 reunification of the party. The party brought in this time a lot of important societal laws and could enforce these also.

The Local Government Act of 1908 reduced, for example, the importance of existing, dominated by landlords group of jurors, and replaced it with 49 County, city and rural councils ( county, urban and rural district councils ) which were led by the Irish. The meetings were very popular in Ireland, but they established a new political class, which showed that she was able to regulate Irish affairs. This led to a re- emergence of hope on Home Rule. Due to the strong dominance of the Irish Parliamentary Party members within these meetings there were also a lot of nepotism.

According to the UK's election in 1910 and the reduction of the veto power of the House of Lords by the Parliament Act, the party ultimately reached the legal adoption of Home Rule, which was, however, will not be implemented due to the First World War and the subsequent Irish freedom movements. During the war, the party's National Volunteers supported.
