1960-1964: Sean MacBride (Clann na Poblachta)
1960 (Peoples' Front with Labour) def. Sean Lemass (Fianna Fail), Oliver J. Flanagan (Social Credit)
1964-1972: Brendan Corish (Clann na Poblachta)
1964 (Majority) def. Sean Lemass (Fianna Fail), Oliver J. Flanagan (Social Credit), Noel Browne ('Continuity' Labour)

O'Duffy's National Guard manage to dominate the union of anti-FF forces in the early 30s, but the lamentable failure of O'Duffy's attempts to imitate Continental Fascism while at the same time pissing off the crypto-fascists in Westminster, leads to economic collapse and the victory of de Valera. O'Duffy's National Alliance collapses and what would have become Fine Gael never recovers. The British embargo on Irish goods endures until the outbreak of war, whereupon de Valera aligns with America out of self-interest and Ireland becomes the springboard for American liberation of the British Isles.
Fianna Fail is able to maintain a grip on power until the mid-50s, aligning firmly with American Industrial Government. The Peoples' Front is technically a Labour led coalition but Sean MacBride, as the more popular national figure becomes Taoiseach. This proves a killer blow for Labour as Clann na Poblachta successfully displaces them as the main centre-left party.
After de Valera's retirement in 1960, Fianna Fail takes a turn towards fiscal conservatism, causing a crisis for the party, and allowing Clann na Poblachta an unbroken twelve years in government, helped along by the officially affiliation of the Labour Party. At the same time, autarkists and Industrial Government enthusiasts on the right are drawn toward Flanagan's Social Credit Party, heir to the legacy of O'Duffy. When the left of Fianna Fail takes back control of the party and Noel Browne's Labour remnant enjoys a surge, coupled to voter fatigue with Clann na Poblachta, the moment proves ripe for a Coalition between Fianna Fail and Social Credit.
