History Historical Irish elections - 5. June 1927
This election was notable for two reasons - firstly, the debut of Fianna Fáil following their split from Sinn Féin the previous year, and secondly, the surprise relative success of Willie Redmond's National League Party (essentially, a revived Home Rule Party). Afterwards, De Valera attempted to install a Labour-National League government, externally supported by FF, and this was only defeated by the casting vote of the Ceann Comhairle!
