1926. The Birth of Fianna Fail.
Poster notice to announce launch of
Fianna Fail: National Policy to Launch new National
Organisation In March 1926 a special
conference of Sinn Féin declined to carry de Valera's
proposals for flexibility in relation to attending Dáil
Éireann. De Valera resigned as President of Sinn Féin and
withdrew his supporters. An organising meeting was held on
14 April, the date quoted in this poster (see Langford and
O'Neill, page 245), and on 17 April de Valera gave an
interview to United Press Agency in which he gave the name
of the new party as Fíanna Fáil. This poster appears to be
the earliest public document prepared for the new party, and
must have been drafted mainly by de Valera as it is
consistent with his UPA interview. The poster is rare and is
not mentioned by Cogan or Longford and O'Neill, who mention
only a letter to potential supporters. |
