	The 70th Anniversary of Fine Gael - Bruton
		A merger of all opposition parties seemed to be necessary to put together a strong enough combination to counter de Valera's apparent threats to property and to conventional politics.
		Fine Gael, under James Dillon, was the first party to advocate entry into the European Union.
		Parties that previously advocated aggressive republicanism, like Fianna Fail, or state socialism, like the Labour Party, adopted policies close to those that Fine Gael had always held to.

	Fine Gael the Monarchist party? at Irish Election
		You would think most Irish people would agree with that however it seems that Fine Gael are hinting that they would like to see Queen Elizabeth retake the Irish throne.
		The next Sunday Business Poll should be done next week, if much media coverage is given to this, that Fine Gael are in favour of bringing back the queen watch their numbers slide.
		The thrust of Gay’ speech is fine… have courage, go the extra mile, think outside the box etc. However he then ruins it with one of the stupidest ideas I’ve heard with respect to the problems in the North.

	Dail Debates Official Report - 20-02-01
		Fine Gael is joining Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats to crush a voice from the anti-Establishment section of the House, the Left, because they all share the same consensus politics and economics, support the capitalist Establishment and the status quo.
		Fine Gael and Deputy Noonan, in particular, are guilty of barefaced hypocrisy.
		Fine Gael could and should take the view that everyone is entitled to speak and that it should be possible for all sides of the House, including the Government, to agree a Standing Order to allow small parties, Independent Members and backbenchers to speak and question the Taoiseach on the Order of Business.

	RTE News - O'Brien denies making payment to Fine Gael

		Fine Gael subsequently tried to return the money, stating that had they known of its origin they would not have accepted a contribution of unclear origin.

	The Development of Irish Party Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The party governed at those most historic moments in the twentieth century- the writing and ratification of the Irish constitution- Bunreacht na hEireann in 1937, the declaration of the Republic in 1949, and Ireland’s acceptance into the EEC in 1973.
		The party was marginalised by the debate on the national question, on which it was unable to adopt a distinctive position, and moved swiftly into the position it has occupied since- that of third party in essentially a three- party system.
		The, rather surprising, and almost complete, demise of the Sinn Fein party in the aftermath of the Civil War left what was the single largest political party in the first two decades of the twentieth century, on the margins for much of Ireland’s electoral history for the rest of that century.

	Party Politics Vol. 10, Issue 4, p. 407
		The value of studying party members has been outlined in the introductory article to this volume, and the lack of previous research has been highlighted.
		Members do not see any difference between the parties in left-right terms, and indeed policy generally does not loom large in members' responses on this issue; quite a number of members say that in their opinion there are no policy differences between the two parties.
		Fine Gael, in the eyes of its members, is a party of honesty and integrity that puts the country first and sticks to its principles, while Fianna Fáil is a party that is tainted by corruption, has no guiding philosophy other than its own self-interest and is entirely opportunistic in its behaviour.

	Liam Cosgrave Summary
		Younger members of the Fine Gael Party were trying to shed the party's economic conservative image and present themselves as a "social justice"-minded alternative to the free-wheeling capitalistic flavor Fianna Fáil had seemed to assume.
		Cosgrave resigned the leadership of the party and was succeeded by Garret FitzGerald.
		To the surprise of his family, Liam decided to seek election to Dáil Eireann in the 1943 general election and was duly elected as a TD at the age of 23, sitting in the 12th Dáil alongside his father W.T. Cosgrave who had founded the State in the 1920s.

	John Bruton Summary
		Bruton was seen as a throwback to Fine Gael's Christian Democrat tradition, whereas Dukes was in FitzGerald's Social Democratic mould.
		Fine Gael gained nine seats, but Labour was severely mauled, losing 16 seats and leaving the coalition far short of the parliamentary support it needed to stay in office.
		However the new leader Michael Noonan, proved disastrous and the party was annihilated to a far worse extent that was expected to be the case under Bruton.

	Spring surprise? - John Bruton elected Ireland's prime minister National Review - Find Articles
		As Norah Owen, deputy leader of Fine Gael, expressed it in her speech putting John Bruton in nomination for prime minister, he "is not a media-driven politician." The Irish media don't like him and have consistently underestimated him.
		The two left-wing parties will, after all, be contending against each other in the next general election for a significant but limited electoral resource: left-wing votes.
		Fine Gael will not be competing in that market: Fine Gael will be competing with Fianna Fail, and with realistic hopes of gaining some ground.

	The Evil Gerald Online - Fine Gael may not get any votes at all, says FF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Fine Gael may not get any votes at all, claims FF In the increasingly short run-up to the soon-to-be-announced-then-contested general election, media reports are increasingly focusing on what media reports are describing as the "meltdown" and "statspocalypse" in support for Fine Gael.
		"Support for Fine Gael is plummeting in every constituency," reads the report, continuing, "and already there are signs that in some areas the party's vote may be zero or even enter negative figures".
		The one man who could be considered certain to cast a vote for Fine Gael - party leader Michael Noonan - is barred from voting because he never registered, having been told by advisers that his enemies in the Dáil would pounce on such an act as a sign of weakness.
