Irish National Federation
Encyclopedia : I : IR : IRI : Irish National Federation
The Irish National Federation was a nationalist political party in Ireland. It was founded in March 1891 by former members of the National League who had left in protest at Charles Parnell's relationship with Kitty O'Shea.
The group, which had a larger membership than the rump of the National League, was led by John Dillon, but membership declined during the decade, particularly after the United Irish League (UIL) was founded in 1898. As a result, in 1900, the Federation joined the UIL.
