Irish Free State - free-definition Executive authority was vested in the King, and exercised by a cabinet called the Executive Council, presided over by a prime minister called the President of the Executive Council. When Eamon de Valera became President of the Executive Council (prime minister) in 1932 he described Cosgrave's ministers' achievements simply. The structures of the new Free State were laid out in the Treaty and in the Irish Free State Constitution Act. www.free-definition.com /Irish-Free-State.html

Encyclopedia: W.T. Cosgrave When in December 1922 the Irish Free State came into being, Cosgrave became its first prime minister, called President of the Executive Council. William Thomas Cosgrave, ( June 6, 1880 - November 16, 1965) served as the first President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State from 1922 to 1932. An effective and good chairman than a colourful or charismatic leader, he led the new state during the more turbulent period of its history, when the legislation necessary for the foundation of a stable independent Irish polity needed to be pushed through. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/W.T.-Cosgrave

President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although he had the power to nominate the vice-president, all other members of the Executive Council had to have the D�il's formal collective nomination, before being appointed by the Governor-General. Under the Irish Free State Constitution Act, 1922 executive authority was vested in the King and exercised by the Governor-General, who was provided with an Executive Council to 'aid and advise' him. But a new D�il capable of agreeing on the selection of a new government could not be elected as there would be no government capable of having it dissolved, as an Executive Council defeated by the D�il was constitutionally debarred from seeing a parliamentary dissolution. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/President_of_the_Executive_Council_of_the_Irish_Free_State

CONSTITUTION OF THE IRISH FREE STATE (SAORST�T EIREANN) ACT, 1922 The Executive Council shall prepare Estimates of the receipts and expenditure of the Irish Free State (Saorst�t Eireann) for each financial year, and shall present them to D�il Eireann before the close of the previous financial year. The Government of the Irish Free State agrees to pay fair compensation on terms not less favourable than those accorded by the Act of 1920 to judges, officials, members of Police Forces and other Public Servants who are discharged by it or who retire in consequence of the change of government effected in pursuance hereof. The Executive Council shall be responsible to D�il Eireann, and shall consist of not more than seven nor less than five Ministers appointed by the Representative of the Crown on the nomination of the President of the Executive Council. www.irishstatutebook.ie /1922_1.html

4Reference Anglo-Irish Treaty The Treaty's provisions relating to the Crown, governor-generalship and its superiority in law were all repealed from the 1922 Constitution by Eamon de Valera, who became President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State (prime minister) in 1932. His answer was blunt: "not accepting the Treaty." Current Taoiseach (prime minister and leader of Fianna F�il) Bertie Ahern has conceded that the date that marks the real achievement of independence is 1922, when the Irish Free State created by the Anglo-Irish Treaty came into being. *The Treaty would become superior status in Irish law: in the event of a conflict between it and the new 1922 Constitution of the Irish Free State, it would take precedence. www.4reference.net /encyclopedias/wikipedia/Anglo_Irish_Treaty.html

Ireland - becoming a free state The official government of the Irish Free State was instituted at once, with Cosgrave assuming office as president of the executive council. The uprising was the first of a series of events that culminated in the establishment of the Irish Free State (predecessor of the Republic of Ireland) in 1921. This bill, which also would have virtually ended the political ties between Great Britain and the Free State, received the approval of the D�il, but was rejected, in effect, by the Saenad. www.iol.ie /~dluby/history.htm
