The Republic of Ireland Act, 1948
The 1948 Act included among the five documents of the Club's charter.
The Republic of Ireland Act was enacted on 21 December 1948. It repealed the External Relations Act of 1936 and declared the description of the State to be the Republic of Ireland.
It also addressed the President's exercise of executive authority in external relations. The Club recognises the Act as one of its charter documents.
