¹Full style of the ruler:
(a) May 1177 - 27 May 1199: Dominus
Hiberniae ("Lord of Ireland");
(b) from 25 Oct 1415: Rex Franciae
et Angliae et Dominus Hiberniae ("By the
Grace of God, King of France and England and Lord of
Ireland");
(c) from Dec 1541: Rex Franciae et
Angliae et Hiberniae ("By the
Grace of God, King of England and France and Ireland"),
Defender of the Faith (11 Oct 1521 - 1538, 1544-Oct
1554, from 1559), Supreme Head on Earth of the Church of
England (15 Jan 1535 - 1554, from 1559) and Ireland
(from 1537)";
(d) from 24 Mar 1603: "By the Grace of God,
King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender
of the Faith, Supreme Head on Earth of the Church of
England and Ireland".
From 24 Oct 1604 James I also began to use the
style of "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland,
Defender of the Faith, etc." this was formalized from 1
May 1707;
(e) 16 Dec 1653 - 7 May 1659: "By
the Grace of God, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of
England, Scotland, and Ireland (and the Dominions and
Territories thereunto belonging), often shorted to "By
the Grace of God and Republic, Lord
Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland" (Dei
Gratia Reip[ublicae]
Angliae Scotiae et Hiberniae, &c Protector);
(f) from 1 May 1707: "By the Grace of God, of
Great Britain, France and Ireland King/Queen, Defender
of the Faith";
(g) from 1 Jan 1801: "By the Grace of God, of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
King/Queen, Defender of the Faith"; in 1 Jul 1876 the
title "Empress of India" was added;
(h) from 1901: "By the Grace of God, of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the
British Dominions beyond the Seas King, Defender of the
Faith, Emperor of India";
(i) 13 May 1927 - 11 Dec 1936: "By the Grace of
God, of Great Britain, Ireland and of the British
Dominions beyond the Seas King, Defender of the Faith,
Emperor of India."
²The Dáil, in accepting the abdication
of Edward VIII on 12 Dec 1936, did not proclaim the
succession of George VI, but merely provided for the use
of the U.K. crown for purposes of foreign
representation, while leaving a hiatus in the transition
to the new constitutional arrangements. There was no
explicit provision for an interim head of state until
the new constitution was to take effect on 29 Dec 1937.
The domestic functions of the sovereign were exercised
in part by the chairman of Dáil Éireann (Frank Fahy) and
in part by the president of the Executive Council (Éamon
de Valera). Having ceased to be the head of state of
Ireland, the British King (George VI) continued to
exercise the executive power in connection with external
relations for appointment of diplomatic representatives
and conclusion of international agreements. As provided
by the Executive Authority (External Relations) Act,
1936, the king acted strictly on the advice of the
Executive Council (1936-1937) and subsequently on the
advice of the Government of Ireland (1937-1949). On 21
Dec 1948 Dáil Éireann passed the Republic of Ireland
Act, 1948 (effective 18 Apr 1949), which effectively
abolished any connection of Ireland with the British
monarchy.
³The
English-language constitution of Dáil Éireann of 25 Aug
1921 uses the wording "President who shall also be Prime
Minister." At the election on 26 Aug 1921 it is asserted
in Dáil (in English) that the proper style is "President
of the Irish Republic." At the election on 10 Jan 1922
this is deprecated, and it is asserted, without formal
contradiction, that the style is Uachtarán
ar an nDáil Éireann ("President of Dáil
Éireann"); the matter is left unresolved, the incumbents
thereafter using the latter style.
4Ua
Buachalla (s.a.) indicated a preference for not being
called governor-general, instead insisting to be styled
Seneschal (a back-translation from his official Irish
language style Seneascal).
Territorial Dispute: Ireland,
Iceland, and the U.K. dispute Denmark's claim that the
Faroe Islands' continental shelf extends beyond 200 nm;
Iceland, Norway, and the Faroe Islands signed an
agreement in 2019 extending the Faroe Islands' northern
continental shelf area.
Party abbreviations: FF
= Fianna Fáil/The Republican Party (Soldiers of
Destiny, populist, center-right,
republican, est.1926); FG = Fine Gael (Family of
the Irish, christian democratic, center-right,
est.1933); LP = Páirtí an Lucht Oibre/Labour
Party (Labour Party, social-democratic, center-left,
est.1912); SF = Sinn Féin (We Ourselves,
democratic socialist, Irish republican, left-wing
nationalist, center-left, est.1905/1970);
- Former parties: IRB = Irish
Republican Brotherhood (Irish nationalist, Irish
republican, pro-independence, militant, 1858-1924); CG
= Cumann na nGaedheal (Society of the Gaels, Irish
nationalist, conservative, predecessor to FG, 1923-33);
Con = Conservative Party (conservative, British);
Lib = Liberal Party (liberal, British); -
Before the development of the British Conservative and
Liberal parties in the mid-19th century, parties were
largely simply alliances of prominent groups or
aristocratic families. The designations Whig and Tory
tend often to be approximate: Tor = Tory Party
(British conservative, remnants became the Conservative
party by the 1840’s); Whg = Whig Party (British
moderate conservative, aristocratic, pro-reform, later
elements became the Liberal party by the 1850's).
