Jack Lynch was elected the third leader of Fianna Fáil and Taoiseach on 10 November 1966. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Fianna-F%E1il

Eamon De Valera & the Fianna Fail Fianna Fáil, he said, would repeal the Constitution (Amendment) Act and abolish the Military Tribunal, thereby destroying the safety it had given to the Citizens; and Fianna Fáil would be unable to deal with gunbullies, who, before the passing of the Act, were ready to rob, loot and domineer their neighbourhoods. Should Fianna Fáil be returned to power, they would first proceed to abolish the Oath, and the next step in their programme would be the amendment of the Constitution, and that would entail further appeals to the country, and nothing would have been done for its advancement.'

Dáil Debate (11/02/04) - Inconceivable That Taoiseach Did Not Know About Rampant Fianna Fail Corruption Senior members of Fianna Fáil were not shocked by the corruption of the 1980s because there was no dividing line in Fianna Fáil between the greed of senior Ministers and the businessmen who paid them off on the one hand, and the management of the affairs of State on the other. It is obvious there is corruption in Fianna Fáil when a property developer who survived the bruising world of the Murphys and the McAlpines in London left a meeting of senior Fianna Fáil Ministers in 1989, thinking he had been to see the more dysfunctional wing of the Corleone clan. The Taoiseach was a treasurer, Chief Whip and senior Minister of Fianna Fáil, and became the party leader. www.socialistparty.net /press/debatecorruption10-02-04.htm   (521 words)
