Abstract

[In the aftermath of the 1965 general election, James Dillon announced that he was stepping down as leader of Fine Gael. There were two obvious contenders to succeed him: Liam Cosgrave and Declan Costello. Dillon was replaced by Cosgrave at the same meeting where he announced his resignation. That day’s events raised a number of questions: how committed was Fine Gael to the Just Society? Had there been a private arrangement to ensure that the leadership did not pass to Declan Costello? And did Costello even want to be leader?]
