“Oath of Allegiance to Crown to Soon Vanish,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 28, 1933. Page 1 & 12. ---- It Will Become Dead Letter in Anglo-Irish Free State Treaty - Senate Blocked de Valera Move But That Body Now Rendered Powerless ---- (By the Canadian Press) DUBLIN, Irish Free State, Feb, 28. - Sixty days from tomorrow the oath of allegiance to the British Crown will vanish from the constitution of the Irish Free State and become a dead letter in the Anglo-Irish treaty. 

President Eamonn de Valera will effect its disappearance by a motion in the Dail Eireann invoking Article 38A of the constitution, rendering the Senate powerless to obstruct passage of his Oath Removal Bill any longer. The constitution provides that bills which the Senate refuses to pass in such a manner as to satisfy the Lower House will, at the expiration of fifteen months, become law despite the Senate. In the event the Dail is dissolved in the meantime, the waiting period is shortened to sixty days. 

The oath question has dominated every election campaign since the Free State was founded and has caused endless acrimony and bitterness between large sections of the Irish people. 

Section That Offends The section of the Treaty to which so many Irishmen have taken offence says:

"The oath to be taken by members of the Parliament of the Irish Free State shall be in the following form: I... do solemnly swear true faith and allegiance to the constitution of the Irish Free State as by law established and that I will be faithful to H. M. George V, his heirs and success by law, in virtue of the common citizenship of Ireland with Great Britain and her adherence to and membership of the group of nations forming the British Commonwealth of Nations." 

It was on this section that Mr. de Valera and his followers in 1921 founded their objection to the treaty and refused to recognize it. William T. Cosgrove and his party, however, found no cause for complaint in the section and insured that the oath clause in the constitution which was framed later should be a strong one. 

Made Mandatory Article 17 of the constitution made the oath mandatory. The Republicans refused to take it and remained outside the Dail, leaving Mr. Cosgrave and his adherents with a clear field. 

For a while the Republicians pursued a policy of abstention, contenting themselves with getting elected to the Dail and boycotting the Assembly. At that time all the Republican forces were concentrated in one organization, styled "Sinn Fein" (literally "ourselves alone"), but they grew tired of abstention and loss of political capital in the few years that followed. 

After the 1932 elections when Mr. de Valera found himself heading the Government for the first time he immediately attempted to remove the oath. He was blocked by the Senate, He is now in a position to force removal of the oath but is still faced with a possibility that this move will fail to satisfy left wing extremists including the old Sinn Fein,

some more punt coins- both decimal and pre-decimal.

the punt circulated in the irish state from 1938-2002, and featured irish livestock and wild animals such as the irish wolfhound, salmon, red deer, woodcock, the hare, bull, chicken and sow.

the use of livestock imagery harkens back to the bartering system in pre-colonial ireland.

the illustrations were chosen by way of competition, and an english artist- percy metcalfe, designed the first coins to be struck.

SÉ WALL POST BOX [I CANNOT REMEMBER SEEING AN SÉ WALL BOX BEFORE]-159076 by William Murphy Via Flickr: Following Irish independence in 1922, existing British pillar boxes were retained, and when the Irish Free State left the Commonwealth following the declaration of the Republic of Ireland in 1949 existing pillar and wall boxes were then painted green. Many of these are extant around the country, retaining the monogram of the monarch who reigned at the time of the box's installation. The Department of Posts and Telegraphs continued installing similar pillar boxes and wall boxes, but with the initials SÉ (for Saorstát Éireann), a harp or the P & T logo, instead of a monarch's monogram. Since 1984 An Post, the current Irish postal administration, use the An Post logo to adorn their posting boxes.

Happy Constitution Day, Ireland!  Adopted on this date in 1937, the current Constitution replaced the previous Constitution of the Irish Free State.  Fun fact: one of the discrepancies between the Irish and English versions of the current Constitution amounts to a difference of one year as to when a candidate is permitted by law to become president (in English one only has to have reached one’s 35th year [i.e., turned 34], whereas in Irish one needs to have completed 35 years [i.e., turned 36]) (thus far, it hasn’t been an issue, but it could get sticky one of these days!).

Stamp details: Issued on: December 29, 1937 From: Dublin, Ireland MC #65-66

Lovely old post box at Garrykennedy, Co Tipperary. Originally red in colour, it bears the insignia of Edward VII, the king of England between 1901 and 1910. After Ireland gained independence it was painted a patriotic green and at some stage a new door was added. This has the initials SE which stands for Saorstát Éireann or 'The Irish Free State', the official name of Ireland between 1922 and 1937

“Le pillage d’un arsenal à Dublin,” La Presse. November 4, 1932. Page 27. ---- Dublin, 4. - Toute une commotion a été créée par la nouvelle qu’un groupe, que l’on croit de l’armée républicaine, a envahi les arsenaux d’Island Bridge, aux confins de la ville, hier, et a réussi à s’emparer de plusieurs milliers de livres d’ammunitions à carabine et à s’enfuir en automobile avant que les gardes fussent alertées. 

Le ministre de la défense déclara n’en avoir pas été encore officiellement averti, mais la rumeur a été confirmée en plusieurs quartiers et on affirme que les troupes à Curragh et à Athlone ont reçu l’ordre de se tenir sur le qui-vive.

“Above is a typical scene In the Irish Free State, showing a farmer delivering milk to a co-operative creamery. Output of these creameries is largely exported to England and a tariff wall would cut off the sole revenue of thousands of citizens. Inset, at right, Sir George May, chairman of the British Tariff Board, which will wield a powerful weapon over rebellious Dail. Sketches show market and street scenes with proverbial Irish potato digger in centre. World Interest centres on Ireland just now.”
