O'Connell, Daniel

O'Connell, Daniel (1775–1847), Irish statesman. Trained as a lawyer, he quickly gained influence as a Catholic leader. In 1823 he formed the Catholic Association with the object of securing Catholic emancipation by legal means. In 1828 he became MP for Clare. The following year the Roman Catholic Emancipation Act (see CATHOLIC RELIEF ACTS) was passed. O'Connell now led his own parliamentary party, while also conducting successive movements to repeal the Union. He acted impartially while he was Lord Mayor of Dublin (1841–2), but in 1843 resumed his agitation, holding a series of ‘monster meetings’; he was arrested and in 1844 condemned to a year's imprisonment, but freed on appeal to the House of Lords. He created modern Irish constitutional nationalism.
