Healyite Nationalist

Healy was the most outspoken member of the Anti-Parnellite majority in the Irish Parliamentary Party.

In the years following the revelation of the O'Shea scandal in 1890 he became estranged from the movement, setting up his own personal organisation as Member of parliament (MP) for North Louth in 1892, together with five fellow MPs, under the name "People's Rights Association".

It was dubbed the 'clerical' party due to Healy's closeness to his clerical ally Cardinal Michael Logue.

Finally, at the general election of 1906, this number fell to one, Tim Healy himself, who later associated himself with the All-for-Ireland League.
