7th Government of Ireland


The 7th Government of Ireland (2 June 1954 – 20 March 1957)—more commonly known as the Second Inter-Party Government—is the name given to the government that led Ireland from 1954 to 1957.[1] The coalition consisted of Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Clann na Talmhan. Once more, a dislike of Fianna Fáil overcame all other problems in forming a government.
