 Definition of President of Ireland
The president is formally one of three tiers of the Oireachtas (national parliament).

On balance, the weight of evidence would suggest that King George VI, as King of Ireland, remained on as Irish head of state until 1949, when the key international representional role previously performed by the King was vested instead in the President of Ireland under the Republic of Ireland Act, 1948.
