This innovative idea was adopted by India when it became a Republic inside the British Commonwealth in 1948, and was what de Valera put into effect with the 1937 Constitution (for the 26 counties).
He is the most outstanding states man of the past century, however the path for him was most certainly laid in the tender years of the state.

 Irish Statesman Eamon De Valera
Yes, and we will go further: De Valera was one of the great leaders of this century: a man who stuck to his faith, a man of principle, a man dedicated to peace and justice, a soldier who fought for freedom, a man who followed his conscious.
One of the real-life characters in the above movie, Harry Boland, friend of both Michael Collins and de Valera, wrote of de Valera in 1922: "[he] is at GHQ, hale and well, the same gentle, honest, straight-forward, unpurchaseable man that you knew.
All the calumny that has been heaped upon him is British inspired; they failed to bribe or intimidate him, they now try the weapon of slander." It looks to us that what the British could not succeed at then is still being tried today.
