Fine Gael (1104 words)
Fine Gael (pronounced fee-na gale) is currently the main opposition party in the Republic of Ireland.
Fine Gael's revitalisation was of such a scale that by the December 1982 general election, Fine Gael was only five seats behind Fianna Fáil in Dáil Éireann and bigger than the party in Oireachtas Éireann (both houses of parliament put together).
Fine Gael generally follows centre-right policies and is allied with Christian Democrat[?] parties in the European Union.
