| | Irish Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The judicial arm of the Irish Republic consisted of a network of Dáil Courts administered by IRA officers, which at first operated in parallel with the British judicial system, and gradually came to supersede it as public opinion swung against the British. | | | By approving the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921 and the Constitution of the Irish Free State in October 1922 the Dáil temporarily agreed to the dissolution of the Irish Republic and its replacement with the system of constitutional monarchy of the Irish Free State. | | | By this declaration they claimed to establish an independent state called the "Irish Republic" and proclaimed that the leaders of the rebellion would serve as the "Provisional Government of the Irish Republic" until it became possible to elect a national parliament. |

| | The revolutionary state established by nationalists in 1919 was known as the 'Irish Republic', while when the state achieved de facto independence in 1922 it became known as the 'Irish Free State', a name that was retained until 1937. | | | The Irish state remained a member of the then British Commonwealth until the declaration of a republic in April 1949. | | | On 1 April 1949 the Republic of Ireland Act declared a republic, with the functions previously given to the King given instead to the President of Ireland. |

| | Those opposed to it were led by Sinn Fein president Eamon de Valera; this faction argued that they had sworn allegiance to the republic, and that they could not accept anything less. | | | The term is most commonly applied to the contemporary Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA, also known as “Provos” or “Provisionals”) formed in 1972. | | | This new support for Sinn Fein led to dramatic success for the party in the 1918 British parliamentary elections. |

| | Twenty years later, a new generation of Irish children are being treated as if they were "illegitimate" citizens, again only because of the status of their parents,' says Joanna McMinn, Director of the National Women's Council of Ireland. | | | At the ages of two and four years, the two girls, both of whom are Irish citizens, attended a routine appointment with their mum at the Police Immigration Bureau in central Dublin. | | | Although he has solicitors working free of charge in an attempt to have his family readmitted to Ireland, he is not hopeful. |
