  Repeal Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From 1829 Daniel O'Connell was fairly quiet as he had a seat in parliament and as a result of the Lichfield House Compact he had the support of the government in passing through measures to help the people of Ireland.

A large problem with the repeal campaign was that the objective wasn't as clear as it was for Catholic emancipation and he didn't have a clear and coherent plan for how he was going to carry out his campaign.
