Irish general election, June 1927

The Irish general election of June 1927 was held on 9 June 1927. The newly elected members of the 5th Dáil assembled at Leinster House on 23 June when the new President of the Executive Council and Executive Council of the Irish Free State were appointed.

Contents

The election saw the establishment of Fianna Fáil as a participant in the Dáil, taking most of the support and many of the members of the abstentionist Anti-Treaty Sinn Féin. The impact of this shift was to remove Cumann na nGaedheal's working majority among TDs attending, making the Dáil short-lived.

Result

  • Cumann na nGaedheal minority government formed.
  • First time TDs

  • Patrick Boland
  • Andrew Fogarty
  • John Jinks
  • Michael Keyes
  • Michael Óg McFadden
  • Thomas Mullins
  • Matthew O'Reilly
  • Jasper Travers Wolfe
