Talk:Independent Fianna Fáil

Party
I see no evidence on this website that this is a definite party organisation at all, and not just a label some people ran under. I do know a little bit about both Niall Blaneys. PatGallacher 15:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that IFF was never registered as a political party under the 1963 Electoral Act. The relevant piece is §13:
 * (5) A political party shall not be registered in the Register of Political Parties if its name—
 * ( a ) is identical with the name of any party already registered in the Register of Political Parties or, in the opinion of the Registrar, so nearly resembles such name as to be calculated to mislead, confuse or deceive

Candidates were thus listed on ballot papers as "Non-party". Whether this placed limits on using "Independent Fianna Fáil" on posters I don't know; probably those were not regulated till later Electoral Acts. Note however that the Oireachtas Members Database does have IFF as a party. jnestorius(talk) 20:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
