The Conservative Party of Ireland is the center-right party in Irish politics, which traditionally has endorsed a strong role for the Catholic Church in civil society, a deemphasis on organized labor and government ties to businesses, and a strong national defense. The Conservatives currently control the Presidency with Mary McAleese, and are in a majority coalition with the Christian Democrats and First Ireland Party led in the Dail Eireann by Enda Kenny, the incumbent Taoiseach.
