| | Fine Gael - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fine Gael, since the days of Cumann na nGheadheal, has been known as the party of law and order as a result of its tough stance on crime and the causes of crime and its origins in defending the Anglo-Irish Treaty. | | | John Bruton resigned his Dáil seat in November 2004 to become EU Ambassador to the US, and was replaced in the March 2005 by-election by Shane McEntee, also from Fine Gael. | | | Fine Gael appears set to at least regain many of the seats it lost during the disastrous 2002 campaign at the next General Election. |

| | He said that Fine Gael in Limerick would be concentrating on the local elections in 2004 and hoping to continue where they left off last time with new councillors elected to the City Council and County Council. | | | And he did not rule out the possibility of at some stage in the future of returning to the Fine Gael frontbench or acting as a minister if his party were returned to power. | | | After the humiliation suffered by Fine Gael in May's general election, some felt that the former Fine Gael leader, who resigned following his party's showing, would take it easy and retire at the end of the current Dáil session. |
