Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The President of Dáil Éireann was the leader of the revolutionary Irish Republic of 1919 1921. The office, also known as Príomh Aire, was created in the Dáil Constitution adopted by Dáil Éireann, the parliament of the Republic, at its first meeting in January 1919. This provided that the President was elected by the Dáil as head of a cabinet called the 'Ministry'. During the period of the Republic there were two office-holders, Cathal Brugha (on a provisional basis) and Éamon de Valera. However these men did not have any official status in the eyes of the British government because, although the government eventually agreed to negotiate with the Republic, it never granted it formal recognition. The Irish text of the Dáil Constitution referred to the leader of the state as the Príomh Aire. In English this was translated as both Prime Minister and President of the Ministry. President of Dáil Éireann was also used, interchangeably with these terms, despite the fact that it did not appear in the constitution, and it was the title preferred by de Valera during his visit to the United States in 1920 1921.
