Smith O'Brien in 1848, and of the See also:Fenians between 1865 and 1869. In 1852 he was returned to See also:parliament by See also:Youghal as a Liberal-Conservative, and retained this seat till 1865; but his views gradually became more liberal, and he drifted away from his earlier opinions. His career in parliament was marred by his irregular habits, which resulted in pecuniary embarrassment, and between 1865 and 1870 he returned again to his See also:work at the law courts. The result, however, of the disestablishment of the Irish See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church was to drive Butt and other Irish Protestants into See also:union with the Nationalists, who had always repudiated the See also:English connexion; and on 19th May 1870, at a large See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting in Dublin, Butt inaugurated the See also:Home See also:Rule See also:movement in a speech demanding an Irish parliament for See also:local affairs. On this See also:platform he was elected in 1871 for See also:Limerick, and found himself at the See also:head of an Irish Home Rule party of fifty-seven members. But it was an See also:ill-assorted union, and Butt soon found that he had little or no See also:control over his more aggressive followers. He had no liking for violent methods or for " obstruction " in parliament; and his leadership gradually became a nullity. His false position undoubtedly assisted in breaking down his See also:health, and he died in Dublin on the 5th of May 1879.
