It is a meeting that runs late into the night because the two sides could not reach an agreement.
In your example, Parliament had to have many late meetings because Parnell was working to prevent agreement.
Please note that this is a British (and possibly Australian) phrase. In America we would say "late session" or "all-nighter".
