==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 1919–1922 [[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.
