Daniel O’Connell
Daniel O’Connell (1775-1847) was an Irish political leader and lawyer, known as 'The Liberator' for his role in advocating for Catholic emancipation in Ireland. He founded the Catholic Association in 1823, which campaigned for the rights of Catholics to sit in the British Parliament. O’Connell was a prominent figure in the movement for Irish self-governance and played a crucial role in mobilizing public support for political reform. His efforts culminated in the passage of the Catholic Relief Act in 1829, which allowed Catholics to enter Parliament. O’Connell's legacy is marked by his commitment to nonviolent protest and his significant influence on Irish nationalism.
