Everything about The Repeal Association totally explained
The
Repeal Association was an Irish mass membership political movement set up by
Daniel O'Connell to campaign for a repeal of the
Act of Union of
1800 between Great Britain and Ireland.
Repealer candidates contested the
United Kingdom general election, 1832 in Ireland. Between 1835 and 1841, they formed a pact with the
Liberals. Repealer candidates, unaffiliated with the Liberal Party, contested the
1841 and
1847 general elections.
Electoral statistics
The seats figure in brackets is the position after election petitions and by-elections consequent upon election petitions, had been decided. There were 103 Irish MPs in the period (excluding the two members from Dublin University, as that non-territorial constituency is excluded from the table below).
Votes in 1835 and 1837 are included in the Liberal totals in Rallings and Thrasher's tables.
