President of the Irish Republic Redirected from President of the Republic
President of the Republic The title given to the head of the Irish ministry or Áireacht in August 1921 by an amendment to the Dáil Constitution, which replaced the previous title, Priomh Áire or President of Dáil Éireann. Unlike the previous offices, which were simply head of government or prime minister, the President of the Republic was explicitly declared to be the Irish Republic's head of state.
Following de Valera's resignation, Arthur Griffith was elected to his office, but he reverted to the earlier title of President of Dáil Éireann
