        History

        A nationalist political party founded by William O'Brien in 1898, in Westport, Co. Mayo, its main objective was to force landlords to break up large uncultivated grasslands, surrender them to the Congested Districts boards, and redistribute them to tenants of smaller agricultural holdings. By 1900 it had 462 branches in 25 counties.
