Answer
Fianna Fáil, the political party that would eventually lead Ireland to independence from the United Kingdom, was founded in 1926 by Éamon de Valera, not Seán Lemass. Lemass joined Fianna Fáil shortly after its establishment and became a prominent member, but it was de Valera who played the leading role in the party's foundation.
