The Story
Destined to follow his father, John Dillon, into politics, James Dillon spent his early years as an Independent standing to one side of the divisions wrought by the Civil War, and critical of the mould in which they had cast political debate and progress. Having established the Centre Party with other independent TDs, he became a founding member of Fine Gael when his party, Cumann na nGaedheal, and Eioin O'Duffy's National Guard combined in the face of Fianna Fail's new dominance during the turbulent years of the 1930s.
