Haughey government 3
The Haughey government 3 was the 20th government of the Republic of Ireland , in office from March 10, 1987 to July 12, 1989.
The previous government , a coalition of Fine Gael (FG) and Labor Party (ILP), collapsed when Labor ministers left the government on January 20, 1987 after a dispute over budgetary policy. In the following early elections on February 14, 1987 , Fine Gail and Labor suffered a defeat. Fianna Fáil (FF) was the strongest party with 81 out of 166 seats.
Taoiseach (Prime Minister) became Charles Haughey (FF), who had been head of government from 1979 to 1981 and from March to December 1982. The vote in the Dáil Éireann (Lower House of the Irish Parliament) on March 10, 1987 ended in a draw 82 to 82; so the vote of Ceann Comhairle (President of Parliament) was decisive. Haughey headed a minority government of the Fianna Fáil. The ministers were elected at the same meeting and appointed by the President on the same day . The ministers of state were appointed on March 10 and 12, respectively.
On May 25, 1989, Charles Haughey moved to dissolve Parliament. In the parliamentary elections on June 15, 1989 Fianna Fáil lost 4 seats and only had 77 of the 166 seats in parliament. It took Haughey several weeks to form a coalition government of Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats .
