Who was Patrick Belton?
Patrick Belton was an Irish politician, anti-communist and leader of the Irish Christian Front. Belton provided a strong Catholic voice in an Irish nationalist context throughout his 20th century career. Supportive of General Francisco Franco and an activist in favour of the forces against Bolshevism, Belton however opposed General Eoin O'Duffy taking an Irish Brigade to Spain, feeling that they would be needed in Ireland to counter domestic "political ills". His family, including three sons and a granddaughter, also went on to have careers in Irish politics.
