 Republic of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Republic of Ireland is the fastest growing state in Europe, with a population increase of 8.1% between 2002 and 2006, or 1.97% annually.
The name Republic of Ireland came into use after the Republic of Ireland Act defined it as the official description of the state in 1949 (the purpose of the act being to declare that the state was a republic rather than a form of constitutional monarchy).
Though this state's constitutional structures provided for a President of Ireland instead of a king, it was not technically a republic; the principal key role possessed by a head of state, that of symbolically representing the state internationally remained vested, in statute law, in the King as an organ.
