Daniel O’Connell (17751847) known as The Liberator or The Emancipator, was Ireland’s predominant political leader in the first half of the nineteenth century. He campaigned for Catholic Emancipation – the right for Catholics to sit in the Westminster Parliament, denied for over 100 years – and Repeal of the Union between Ireland and Great Britain.

He is remembered in Ireland as the founder of a non-violent form of Irish nationalism, and for the channeling of Irish politics by the mobilisation of the Catholic community as a political force, with the help of the clergy.
