Irish cabinets since 1919 558702 218447595 2008-06-10T18:17:44Z Snappy56 277086 /* See also */ redirect ==Republic of Ireland (and predecessor states)== The [[executive branch|executive]] branch of the modern [[Republic of Ireland]] is known as the [[Irish Government|Government]]. However, since 1919, [[cabinet (government)|cabinets]] have functioned in the southern twenty-six counties of [[Ireland]] under two other names: the [[Aireacht]] (or Ministry) of the 1919&ndash;1922 [[Irish Republic]], and the [[Executive Council of the Irish Free State|Executive Council]] of the 1922–1937 [[Irish Free State]]. There also briefly existed, immediately before the creation of the Irish Free State, an interim cabinet called the [[Provisional Government of Ireland|Provisional Government]]. The Ministry and the Provisional Government functioned in parallel for a number of months in 1922. ===Types of Government since 1919=== {| class="wikitable" |- !Cabinet !State !Head !Deputy !Constitution !Date |- |[[Aireacht]]<br>(or Ministry)||[[Irish Republic]]||[[President of Dáil Éireann|Príomh Aire]]<ref>The ''[[Príomh Aire]]'', also known as ''[[President of Dáil Éireann]]'', was upgraded to a head of state-level ''[[President of the Irish Republic]]'' in August 1921.</ref>||''n/a''||[[Dáil Constitution]]||Jan. 1919 &ndash; Dec. 1922 |- |[[Provisional Government of Ireland|Provisional Government]]||[[Southern Ireland]]||[[Chairman of the Provisional Government|Chairman]]||''n/a''||[[Irish Free State (Agreement) Act 1922|Irish Free State (Agreement) Act, 1922]]||Jan. &ndash; Dec. 1922 |- |[[Executive Council of the Irish Free State|Executive Council]]||[[Irish Free State]]||[[President of the Executive Council|President]]||[[Vice-President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State|Vice President]]||[[Constitution of the Irish Free State]]||Dec. 1922 &ndash; Dec. 1937 |- |[[Irish Government|Government]]||[[Éire]] / [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]||[[Taoiseach]]||[[Tánaiste]]||[[Constitution of Ireland]]||Dec. 1937 &ndash; present |} ===Cabinets since 1919=== {| class="wikitable" |- !Dáil !Election/Formed !Cabinet !colspan="2"|Head !colspan="2"|Deputy !colspan="2"|Parties |- |[[Members of the 1st Dáil|1st]] |[[Irish (UK) general election, 1918|1918 election]] |[[Government of the 1st Dáil#First Ministry|1st Ministry]] ! style="background-color: {{Sinn Féin/meta/color}}" | |[[Cathal Brugha]] ! style="background-color: #f9f9f9" | |''n/a'' ! style="background-color: {{Sinn Féin/meta/color}}" | |[[Sinn Féin]] |- style="border-bottom: 2px solid gray;" | |[[1919]] |[[Government of the 1st Dáil#Second Ministry|2nd Ministry]] ! style="background-color: {{Sinn Féin/meta/color}}" | |[[Éamon de Valera]] ! style="background-color: #f9f9f9" | |''n/a'' ! style="background-color: {{Sinn Féin/meta/color}}" | |[[Sinn Féin]] |- |[[Members of the 2nd Dáil|2nd]] |[[Irish elections of 1921|1921 election]] |[[Government of the 2nd Dáil#Third Ministry|3rd Ministry]] ! style="background-color: {{Sinn Féin/meta/color}}" | |" ! style="background-color: #f9f9f9" | |''n/a'' ! style="background-color: {{Sinn Féin/meta/color}}" | |[[Sinn Féin]] |- | |[[1922]] (Jan) |[[Government of the 2nd Dáil#Fourth Ministry|4th Ministry]]<ref name=simul>The Fourth Ministry and First Provisional Government held office simultaneously for many months.
