Donegal Progressive Party
- Donegal Progressive Party
-
The Donegal Progressive Party was a minor party in the Republic of Ireland.
The party drew its support mostly from the Unionist community in County Donegal. It was opposed to a united Ireland. At the 1973 general election, the party's leader advised Protestants to vote for Fianna Fáil, as it had the most stable policy on the border question.[1] Throughout the 1980s, the party held a single seat on Donegal County Council, but it lost this at the 1999 local elections.
Jim Devenney, the party's final representative, also contested Donegal North East at the 1992 and 1997 general elections, and stood in Letterkenny again in 2004.[2] The party was removed from the Register of Political Parties on 20 November 2009.[3]
