	Opposition Front Bench (Ireland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Opposition Front Bench in the Republic of Ireland is a group of senior parliamentary opposition Teachtaí Dála who together under the leadership of the Leader of the Opposition form an alternative cabinet to the government's.
		The Official Opposition maintains a Front bench of Teachtaí Dála (TDs) that often have the same portfolios as actual ministers.
		The title of "the Opposition" is held by the largest party in Dáil Éireann which is not in government, and sometimes the Opposition may even be the largest party in the Dáil.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Irish (In Countries Other Than Ireland)
		But the beginnings of immigration from Ireland to America, in such numbers and under such circumstances so notable as to become a matter of definite historical record, may be said to date from the subjugation of Ireland by Cromwell in 1651.
		For over a hundred years before the Cromwellian era Ireland had been distracted by the frequent invasions of the English under desperate and unscrupulous leaders, whose professed purpose was to re-establish English supremacy in Ireland, and to force the new religion of Henry VIII upon her clergy and laity.
		In other parts of Ireland, where these methods of transplantation or extermination had not yet been attempted and where the inhabitants had escaped the horrors of this guerrilla warfare, there were hundreds of thousands of fertile acres.

		Mr Eorster and Mr Card well, as private members in opposition, brought in'Education Bills in 1867 and 1868; and in 1868, when the Liberal party returned to office, Mr Forster was appointed vice-president of the council, with the duty of preparing a government measure for national education.
		The Manchester Education Union and the Birmingham Education League had already formulated in the provinces the two opposing theories, the former standing for the preservation of denominational interests, the latter advocating secular rate-aided education as the only means of protecting Nonconformity against the Church.
		During the gloomy autumn and winter of 1880-1881 Forster's energy and devotion in grappling with the situation in Ireland (see IRELAND) were indefatigable, his labor was enormous, and the personal risks he ran were many: but he enjoyed the Irish character in spite of all obstacles, and inspired genuine admiration in all his coadjutors.

		John Stalker was a celebrated senior Manchester policeman who came to the fore of public attention during the so-called "shoot-to-kill" scandal in Northern Ireland in the mid-1980s.
		Later he was appointed as Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, working under Chief Constable James Anderton, at a time when it became the largest provincial police force in the country with over 10,000 staff covering a population of three million.
		Here, somewhat controversially, he revealed an alleged Royal Ulster Constabulary "shoot-to-kill" policy, much to the embarrassment of the authorities, his superiors and the British government, and was probably the victim of a 'dirty tricks' campaign to discredit him.
