History
The party was formed as a loose collective of conservative candidates for the 1923 elections,[1] including former members of the dissolved Home Rule Party, as well as the Independence Party.[2] It won the elections, taking 16 of the 28 seats in the Lower House and 7 of the 14 seats in the Upper House.[3] In February 1924 twenty of the party's MPs founded the Conservative Party, and the party was dissolved in the same year.[4] The three remaining MPs sat under the banner of the Independence Party, before forming the Liberal Party in 1927.[4]
A second Citizens' Party was established in 1987.
