Healyite Nationalist

In Irish politics of the 1890s and 1900s, the Healyite Nationalists (also known as Independent Nationalists) were Irish Nationalist politicians who supported Timothy Healy MP. Healy was the most outspoken member of the anti-Parnellite majority in the Irish Parliamentary Party. In the following decades he became estranged from the movement, setting up his own personal organisation as Member of Parliament (MP) for North Louth in 1892 together with five fellow MPs under the name "People's Rights Association". It was dubbed the 'clerical' party due to Healy's closeness to his clerical ally Cardinal Michael Logue.
