Sean T. O'Kelly However O'Kelly was not made governor-general, the post instead going to former Fianna Fil TD Domhnall Ua Buachalla. In 1938, again O'Kelly's position in cabinet became a focus for speculation, as rumours swept Leinster House (the seat of Parliament) that deV intended making O'Kelly the Fianna Fil choice to become president of Ireland, the office which had replaced the governor-generalship in the new Irish constitution, Bunreacht na hireann. The talkative, tactless, fanatically religious whiskey-drinking O'Kelly matched the bill, perhaps through indiscretions rather than deliberate actions. www.enlightenweb.net /s/se/sean_t__o_kelly.html   (714 words)

ire The change of name to ire from the Irish Free State under the Fianna Fil party government (1932-48) of Eamon de Valera followed his government's enactment of an entirely new constitution, called Bunreacht na hireann by plebiscite in 1937. Speaking in Seanad ireann Costello told senators that as a matter of law, the King was indeed 'King of Ireland' and Irish head of state and the President of Ireland was in effect no more than first citizen and a local notable, until the new law came into force. Among the new features of that new constitution were a President of Ireland, a renamed prime minister called taoiseach, a new senate called Seanad ireann, and a more Roman Catholic tone to the document which included a reference to the "special position of the Roman Catholic church" (since repealed). www.enlightenweb.net /e/ei/eire.html   (2630 words)

The Daily Times Fianna Fil's Martin Mansergh suggested recently in The Irish Times that the latest UN assembly vote on Iraq and the June 28th "hand-over" of "sovereignty" means there is now no reason to protest about Iraq or Shannon.
