Reform Association

The Reform Association was a political movement in 19th-century Ireland that aimed to promote self-governance and administrative independence from Britain. Founded in 1848, its goal was to establish a separate Irish parliament to better address local issues and reduce dependence on Westminster. While it garnered support among those seeking national self-determination, it ultimately did not succeed, as Britain maintained control over Irish affairs. The movement played a significant role in shaping Irish political thought and laid groundwork for later independence efforts.
