Political Economy | Ireland | Fine Gael is the successor to the Pro-Free State Treaty party, which formed the first Irish government in 1923. Fine Gael has headed virtually all post-1932 non-Fianna Fail governments, including the three-party "Rainbow Coalition" that governed Ireland from 1994-97. Traditionally more economically conservative than Fianna Fail, Fine Gael assumed a more social democratic orientation under Garret FitzGerald, who was Prime Minister from 1981-1982 and from 1982-1987. Fine Gael holds similar economic policy views to Fianna Fail on practically all key issues. (references) |
