Founded in 1926 by Éamon de Valera and his Sinn Féin followers opposed to the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, it aimed to promote the independence of Ireland. He developed a program of a socializing nature and in 1932 he achieved power, which he has held intermittently throughout the history of Ireland. All its leaders have at some time held the office of Taoiseach.
