	ireland.com / Focus / The 1916 Rising
		Fianna Fáil traces its roots to 1916 but its tradition was also influenced hugely by the 1918 election victory of Sinn Féin, the Civil War and the decision in 1926 to abandon abstentionism and the gun and participate fully in democratic politics.
		In 1932 Fianna Fáil was elected to power for the first time and ever since has been the biggest party in the State and the dominant party of government.
		It was a restatement of the Fianna Fáil claim to be the true inheritors of the Rising.

	FIANNA FáIL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Fianna Fáil werd opgericht op 23 maart 1926, en kreeg zijn naam op 2 april van dat jaar.
		Fianna Fáil weigerde in eerste instantie zitting te nemen in de Dáil Éireann van de Ierse Vrijstaat, in een protest tegen de Eed van Trouw die alle leden van de Dáil moeten afnemen.
		Fianna Fáil zag vervolgens af van de weigering de eed te zweren, en verklaarde het een "lege belofte", en nam de zetels in in de Dáil.

	Fianna Fáil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, instead of gaining seats Fianna Fáil lost seats and was forced to form a coalition with the Progressive Democrats, a political offshoot, to stay in power.
		In the local elections in 2004 the Fianna Fáil vote plummeted to its lowest level since the 1920's, mainly due to some bad financial decisions during the present government, and the percieved failure of the government to fulfil many of its election pledges.
		Former Fianna Fáil Government Press Secretary Frank Dunlop is currently giving evidence to a tribunal of inquiry in relation to his allegations that long-serving Fianna Fáil senator took bribes to arrange for planning permissions to be granted to particular property developers.

	Ireland: election results record decay of Fianna Fail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Fianna Fail also embodies a great deal of experience in subordinating the working class to the needs of Irish-based capital through manipulation of the patriotic sentiment that is a residual legacy of Ireland’s former colonial oppression by Britain.
		This presents problems for Fianna Fail, which is under increasing pressure now that Sinn Fein has established itself as an all-Ireland party and claims to be an opponent of the social inequality that successive Fianna Fail and PD governments have created.
		It is also difficult for Fianna Fail to claim to be implementing the US and British-backed Good Friday Agreement, which aims at creating a more stable basis for business investment across the entire island by integrating Sinn Fein into the Northern Ireland state apparatus, while sustaining the coalition with the PDs.

	Eamon De Valera & the Fianna Fail
		In 1932 the Fianna Fail won control of the government and de Valera became Prime Minister.
		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.'

		It’s no coincidence that Fianna Fail’s troubles coincide with the electoral emergence of another incarnation of the Republican movement, one’s whose journey towards constitutionality is arguably further advanced than Fianna Fail’s was in 1927.
		Although Fianna Fail has made a number of moves over the summer that look like a response to the rise of Sinn Fein, (notably dispatching Charlie McCreevy to Brussels) there is no indication that it is ready to tackle this crucial issue.
		Fianna Fail does have one All-Ireland credential to its name, however, and it is one which will be highlighted in the coming months.

		May 3: Fianna Fáil petition with 96,000 signatures, calling for referendum to abolish the Oath of Allegiance rejected by Government which instead abolished the plebiscite clause in the Constitution.
		The first moves towards establishing Fianna Fáil began in 1926, when on the 23rd of March a preliminary meeting took place to form a new party in response to a split in the Sinn Féin movement over the issue of abstentionism from Dáil Éireann.
		The public finances were in a state of severe crisis by 1987, when Fianna Fáil returned to power and thanks to tight and skilful management this situation was gradually redressed and the seeds of the "Celtic Tiger" were sown.

		FIANNA FÁIL’S fortunes have dramatically turned a corner, while Sinn Féin’s unrelenting rise in popularity continues unabated, the latest opinion polls show.The year's first survey of political popularity reveals that satisfaction ratings for the Government and the Taoiseach have risen by a whopping 11%.
		However, worryingly for the two main opposition parties, Fine Gael and Labour are failing to make headway as their support has dropped in recent months, according to the TNS/MRBI opinion poll, published in today's Irish Times.
		Fianna Fáil's minor recovery, with a 3% rise to 33%, is eclipsed by the resurgence in the popularity of the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, whose popularity rating has risen to 47% up by 11 points since last September.

		The apparent revival in Fianna Fáil's fortunes reverses the trend of the four-week campaign, which suggested Fine Gael was closing the gap on Fianna Fáil, tapping into public discontent about the parlous state of public services.
		But the preferred coalition outcome, favoured by a fifth of those polled, is to see Fianna Fáil in government with Labour, as happened in the early 1990s.
		Analysts say Fianna Fáil is anxious to reassure its middle-class support base by ruling out the possibility of going into government with a party that for 30 years was seen as the political wing of the banned Irish Republican Army in the conflict in Northern Ireland.

	Dáil Debate (11/02/04) - Inconceivable That Taoiseach Did Not Know About Rampant Fianna Fail Corruption
		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.
		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.
