Ministries of the First Dáil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ministry was the cabinet of the Irish Republic. Two ministries came to office during the life of the First Dáil. The First Ministry was a temporary cabinet headed by Cathal Brugha, because Eamon de Valera, the leader of Sinn Féin, was in gaol at the time. In April, 1919 de Valera became Príomh Aire and headed the Second Ministry. The First Dáil was elected on 18th December, 1918 and first met on 21st January, 1919. It lasted for 892 days.
