IRELAND
BY: Student X
ANCESTORS
•   My Great-Grandmother Hannah Hirrell(Cahill), was born in
    the county of Donegal Ireland in 1897. She immigrated to
    the US with her brother, Owen Hirrell, on board the SS
    Tuscanta from Londonderry, England Sept.22, 1923. They
    landed in Eillis Island and were admitted to the US on
    Oct.4,1923 to begin their new lives;Owen as a laborer and
    Hannah as a Domestic in Sommerville, MA.

•   My Great-great grandfather Patrick Cahill was born in
    Galway Ireland.
REPUBLIC GOVERNMENT

• A state in which the supreme
 power rests in the body of
 citizens entitled to vote and is
 exercised by representatives
 chosen directly or indirectly by
 them.
EARLY HISTORY
•   Relics from the Stone Age led to the conclusion that Ireland is
    8,000 years old, the first settlers probably traveling from
    Scandinavia to Scotland (at that time England was still linked
    by land to northern Europe) then across what was a narrow
    sea gap to Ireland. These early settlers beame the Tribes of
    Firbolg and Tuatha De Dannann when they were invaded by
    the Milesius of Spain around 1,000 B.C.. Today's Irish Race is
    a combination of the three-above mentioned tribes known as
    the one Celtic Race. After the Bronze Age and during the Iron
    Age around 400 A.D., brought about new technologies . The
    large Roman Empire stopped short of Ireland although
    dominating most of Europe. The Vikings began invasions of
    Ireland in the 9th Century. In 1171 King Henry of England
    asserted sovereignty with the building of abbey-churches and
    castles.
GEOGRAPHICS

Ireland, Republic of (Gaelic Éire), republic
   comprising about five-sixths of the island of
   Ireland. the country consists of the provinces of
   Leinster, Munster, and Connaught, and part of the
   province of Ulster. The rest of Ulster, which
   occupies the northeastern part of the island,
   constitutes Northern Ireland, a constituent part of
   Great Britain. The republic has a total area of
   70,283 sq km.
THE IRISH CIVIL WAR                      1922-
                       1923
The Irish Civil War was one of the many conflicts
  that followed in the wake of the First World War.
  By the standards of the 'Great War' it was very
  small indeed; roughly 3,000 deaths were inflicted
  over a period of eleven months, probably less than
  the average casualties suffered on the Western
  Front during a quiet week.s with all civil wars,
  this conflict generated extremes of bitterness that
  have haunted public and political life in Ireland up
  to the present day.
ENDING THE WAR
On 11 July, 1921, a Truce came into effect ending the Irish War of
  Independence which had lasted for over thirty months. While the war had
  succeeded in forcing the British to the negotiating table, it had also
  exposed serious divisions within the nationalist movement, divisions that
  would only be exacerbated by the efforts to reach a lasting peace with
  Great Britain. The war had begun in the wake of the overwhelming success
  in the general election of December 1918 of 'Sinn Fein', the nationalist
  political party founded by Arthur Griffith. Following party policy, the Sinn
  Fein candidates who had been elected to parliament in London abstained
  from attending and, instead, formed their own legislative body, known as
  the 'Dail Eireann', headed by Eamonn de Valera as President.
COMPARE

The government of Ireland is similar to the United States in
  that it is a Republic. It has a legal system and Supreme
  Court very similar to the United States. Rather than
  states, Ireland has many counties and it is quite
  confusing with how their individual governing works.
SEPARATING THE COUNTIES
•   Ireland is made up of 32 counties.
•   26 of them are in the Republic of Ireland
    which include; Donegal, Monaghan, Cavan,
    Kerry, Cork, Waterford, Clare, Tipperary,
    Limerick, Clare, Dublin, Meath, Kildare,
    Offaly, Carlow, Westmeath, Wexford,
    Wicklow, Kilkenny, Laois, Louth, Longford,
    Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Leitrim, Sligo.
•   The other 6 are in Northern Ireland;
    Ermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh,
    Derry.
IRISH CONSTITUTION
Constitution
Bunreacht na hEireann (meaning 'Basic Law of Ireland') is the Irish
   Constitution. It is the fundamental legal document that sets out how Ireland
   should be governed and the rights of Irish citizens.

The law of the Republic of Ireland consists of
  constitutional, statute and common law. The
  highest law in the Republic is the Constitution
  of Ireland, from which all other law derives its
  authority. The Republic has acommon-law
  legal system with a written constitution that
  provides for a parliamentary democracy
  based on the British parliamentary system.
How they are different
•   In order to pass an amendment to the Irish
    Constitution, the process is not as big as if
    you were passing on in America.
    Referendum is what they call it. An
    amendment must be approved by both
    Houses of the Oireachtas, then submitted to
    the Referendum then signed by the
    president.
Historical Methods
The Constitution has also been amended by two other ways. The
  Constitution provided that, for an initial period of four years,
  from 1937 to 1941, it could be amended by a simple Act of the
  Oireachtas without a referendum. The First and Second
  Amendments were adopted in this way.
However, as a safeguard to prevent wholesale changes after it
  had been approved by the people, the President of Ireland,
  was given the right to decline to sign a Bill amending the
  constitution until the amendment had been voted on by the
  people if he believed that the amendment materially changed
  the whole Constitution.
PREVIOUS CONSTITUTIONS
Prior to the adoption of the Constitution of Ireland in
  1937, the state was governed under two other
  documents: the Dáil Constitution of the short-lived
  1919–1922 Irish Republic and the constitution of the
  1922–1937 Irish Free State. Each used different
  formal procedures for amendment of the text. The
  Dáil Constitution was enacted by Dáil Éireann
  (which was at that time a single chamber legislature)
  as an ordinary act of parliament. As a result it could
  be amended by simple vote of the legislature.
FUN FACTS
•   The population is about 4,000,000
•   English and Irish are the most commonly
    used languages. Gaelic was mostly spoken
    around the western seaboard.
•   The main religon is Cathloic

  • 14. How they are different • In order to pass an amendment to the Irish Constitution, the process is not as big as if you were passing on in America. Referendum is what they call it. An amendment must be approved by both Houses of the Oireachtas, then submitted to the Referendum then signed by the president.
  • 15. Historical Methods The Constitution has also been amended by two other ways. The Constitution provided that, for an initial period of four years, from 1937 to 1941, it could be amended by a simple Act of the Oireachtas without a referendum. The First and Second Amendments were adopted in this way. However, as a safeguard to prevent wholesale changes after it had been approved by the people, the President of Ireland, was given the right to decline to sign a Bill amending the constitution until the amendment had been voted on by the people if he believed that the amendment materially changed the whole Constitution.
  • 16. PREVIOUS CONSTITUTIONS Prior to the adoption of the Constitution of Ireland in 1937, the state was governed under two other documents: the Dáil Constitution of the short-lived 1919–1922 Irish Republic and the constitution of the 1922–1937 Irish Free State. Each used different formal procedures for amendment of the text. The Dáil Constitution was enacted by Dáil Éireann (which was at that time a single chamber legislature) as an ordinary act of parliament. As a result it could be amended by simple vote of the legislature.
