Overview

Albert Reynolds fought his first and only election as leader of Fianna Fil. It was one of the worst election performances for the Party in its history. John Bruton fought his first election as leader also and fared just as badly. The Labour Party recorded its best ever result and effectively held the balance of power. Having promised before the election that it wouldn't enter into coalition with Fianna Fil thats exactly what happened. Against all the expectations Albert Reynolds was back as Taoiseach with Dick Spring becoming Tnaiste. Notable retirees: Two former Taoisigh, Charles Haughey and Garret FitzGerald.
