| <small>Son of former President Einrí Ó Leannáin Sr. Initially popular due to his personal image and charisma, Ó Leannáin's reputation plummeted as his presidency quickly became overwhelmed with a number of controversies, including his authorisation of the wiretapping, blackmailing and tarnishing of Liberal and Progressive politicians, his sabotage of the failed Indian Civil Rights Act, and allegations of an affair conducted with famous ... actress Babette Beaubois. In 1966 he resigned after impeachment processes had begun to be made against him. </small> | |||

| <small> | | <small>Barend Moen-Haig became President in the wake of Micheál Ó Leannáin's resignation, and was given the task of cleaning up the party's reputation in time for the 1967 elections. Moen-Haig controversially chose to rehabilitate President Micheál Ó Leannáin, preferring not to "rock the boat". Despite his unpopular image as a result of this, his cautious strategy is believed to have allowed the Conservative Party to bounce back a decade later in the 1977 elections. Remained leader of the Conservative Party until his retirement in 1975.</small> | ||
