Description

Approved by the Dail Eireann in October 1922, the Constitution came into force in December upon British consent, closely following the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and remained in force until the current Constitution was adopted in 1937. This publication held symbolic significance, with the internationally recognized government printing the Constitution through the official Stationery Office, while still engaged in vicious guerilla warfare with anti-Treaty forces during the Irish Civil War.
