Irish Civil War: Electoral Pacts, Constitutions, and Kidnappings
On April 14, 1922, Rory O’Connor and 200 other anti-treaty men took the Fourt Courts in Central Dublin. They took the courts to protest the Provisional Government’s support of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the creation of the National Army at Beggar’s Bush, and the decision to place the fate of the treaty in the hands of the Irish people during the General Election. Despite Britain’s startled response…
“Oath of Allegiance to Crown to Soon Vanish,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 28, 1933. Page 1 & 12. ---- It Will Become Dead Letter in Anglo-Irish Free State Treaty - Senate Blocked de Valera Move But That Body Now Rendered Powerless ---- (By the Canadian Press) DUBLIN, Irish Free State, Feb, 28. - Sixty days from tomorrow the oath of allegiance to the British Crown will vanish from the constitution of the Irish Free State and become a dead letter in the Anglo-Irish treaty.
President Eamonn de Valera will effect its disappearance by a motion in the Dail Eireann invoking Article 38A of the constitution, rendering the Senate powerless to obstruct passage of his Oath Removal Bill any longer. The constitution provides that bills which the Senate refuses to pass in such a manner as to satisfy the Lower House will, at the expiration of fifteen months, become law despite the Senate. In the event the Dail is dissolved in the meantime, the waiting period is shortened to sixty days.
The oath question has dominated every election campaign since the Free State was founded and has caused endless acrimony and bitterness between large sections of the Irish people.
Section That Offends The section of the Treaty to which so many Irishmen have taken offence says:
"The oath to be taken by members of the Parliament of the Irish Free State shall be in the following form: I... do solemnly swear true faith and allegiance to the constitution of the Irish Free State as by law established and that I will be faithful to H. M. George V, his heirs and success by law, in virtue of the common citizenship of Ireland with Great Britain and her adherence to and membership of the group of nations forming the British Commonwealth of Nations."
It was on this section that Mr. de Valera and his followers in 1921 founded their objection to the treaty and refused to recognize it. William T. Cosgrove and his party, however, found no cause for complaint in the section and insured that the oath clause in the constitution which was framed later should be a strong one.
Made Mandatory Article 17 of the constitution made the oath mandatory. The Republicans refused to take it and remained outside the Dail, leaving Mr. Cosgrave and his adherents with a clear field.
For a while the Republicians pursued a policy of abstention, contenting themselves with getting elected to the Dail and boycotting the Assembly. At that time all the Republican forces were concentrated in one organization, styled "Sinn Fein" (literally "ourselves alone"), but they grew tired of abstention and loss of political capital in the few years that followed.
After the 1932 elections when Mr. de Valera found himself heading the Government for the first time he immediately attempted to remove the oath. He was blocked by the Senate, He is now in a position to force removal of the oath but is still faced with a possibility that this move will fail to satisfy left wing extremists including the old Sinn Fein,
Happy International Women’s day!
Reminder that in 2023 the Irish Constitution still states that a woman’s place is in the home.
It’s time for a fucking referendum.

Happy Constitution Day, Ireland! Adopted on this date in 1937, the current Constitution replaced the previous Constitution of the Irish Free State. Fun fact: one of the discrepancies between the Irish and English versions of the current Constitution amounts to a difference of one year as to when a candidate is permitted by law to become president (in English one only has to have reached one’s 35th year [i.e., turned 34], whereas in Irish one needs to have completed 35 years [i.e., turned 36]) (thus far, it hasn’t been an issue, but it could get sticky one of these days!).
