		In the meantime he had been elected president of Ireland by the DAil Eireann, the revolutionary parliament that had declared the country independent.
		Fianna FAil was defeated in the election of 1948, but De Valera returned as prime minister with independent support (1951–54) and with an absolute party majority (1957–59).
		Hampered by failing vision, in 1959 he moved to the less demanding office of president of the republic, to which he was reelected in 1966.

		One of the most controversial of Irish politicians in the 20th century, Haughey served four terms as taoiseach: December 1979 to June 1981, March 1982 to December 1982 and March 1987 to July 1989 and July 1989 to February 1992, when he was forced to resign by revelations from a former minister.
		In 1975 Fianna Fáil was in opposition and Haughey had achieved enough grassroots support to warrant a recall to Jack Lynch's shadow Front Bench.
		Two years later in 1977 Fianna Fáil returned to power with a massive parliamentary majority in Dáil Éireann, having had a very populist campaign (spearhead by Colly and O'Malley) to abolish rates, vehicle tax and other extraordinary concessions, which were short-lived.

	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > John Bruton
		But as evidence of Bruton's complexity, he also kept a picture of former Fianna Fáil taoiseach Sean Lemass which had been hung there by Reynolds, and which Bruton kept because he like most political scientists saw Lemass as perhaps the best and most reforming taoiseach in the history of the state.
		Bruton's Rainbow Coalition[?] was generally perceived to a good government, with Bruton, who was initially the most unpopular of modern political leaders and whom was meant to have had a bad relationship with Spring, being seen as its star performer.
		Fianna Fáil had dominated Irish politics continually since 1932, on occasion being twice as big as the next nearest party, Fine Gael.

		No manifestation of Fianna Éireann has ever been recognised by the World Organisation of the Scout Movement, which sees Scouting as apolitical, in contrast to the partisan nature of Fianna Éireann, a uniformed youth movement with little other connection to the Scout method.

		The Fianna were thought of by many historians as "native professional soldiers in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD" Gaelic traditions of Ireland and Scotland contain many legends of that ancient warrior band whose leader was Fionn Mac Cumhail - "the fair son of Cumhail".
		The Fianna boys pushing the ammunition filled carts had been warned by the shouting that there was a stoppage ahead, and had swerved into a side lane to get away unseen and bury their treasure.
		The Fianna had helped Ireland gain her 'independence' and it was the supreme betrayal of that achievement that Bayden Powell scouts were allowed to use public grounds to drill in, as well as being allowed revolver and musketry practice, while the Fianna were not.

	Ireland: Sunburst (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Between the 14th and 18th centuries a large number of poems, songs and prose tales were written about a mythical band of warriors known as the 'Fianna' (a poetic term meaning 'warriors'), the most prominent members of which were Fionn mac Cumhail and his son Oisín.
		The Fianna were supposed to have lived in the first century and to have defeated Roman attempts to invade Ireland.
		In 1893 an Irish-language movement called Conradh na Gaeilge was established and began to use the sunburst flag, probably because of its literary associations (a similar situation exists in Scotland where the sunburst is found in the emblem of the Highland Association).
