Dil ConstitutionThe Constitution of Dil ireann (Irish: Bunreacht Dla ireann), more commonly known as the Dil Constitution, was a short, provisional constitution adopted by the First Dil in January 1919. It created a ministry or ireacht, headed by the Promh Aire, also called President of Dil ireann, who was in effect the prime minister. Because Sinn Fin had almost split between monarchists and republicans at its 1917 rd Fhis in order to avoid another row on the issue, no head of state was provided for in the original Dil Constitution. The constitution was, however, amended in August 1921 at the request of the then President of Dil ireann, Eamon de Valera to upgrade the office to full head of state, with the office renamed President of the Republic.
