The Irish Republic was an unrecognised revolutionary state that declared its independence from the United Kingdom in January 1919. The Republic claimed jurisdiction over the whole island of Ireland,but by 1920 its functional control was limited to only 21 of Ireland's 32 counties,and British state forces maintained a presence across much of the north-east,as well as Cork,Dublin and other major towns. The republic was strongest in rural areas,and through its military forces was able to influence the population in urban areas that it did not directly control.

The Constitution of Ireland vests executive authority in the Government of Ireland,which is headed by the Taoiseach,the head of government. The government –also known as the cabinet –is composed of ministers,each of whom must be a member of the Oireachtas,which consists of Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann. Most ministers have a portfolio of specific responsibilities such as departments or policy areas,although ministers without portfolio can be appointed.

According to the Constitution of Ireland,the names of the Irish state are Ireland (English) and Éire (Irish). From 1922 to 1937,its legal names were the Irish Free State (English) and Saorstát Éireann (Irish). The state has jurisdiction over almost five-sixths of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is Northern Ireland,a part of the United Kingdom. In 1948 Ireland adopted the terms Republic of Ireland (English) and Poblacht na hÉireann (Irish) as the official descriptions of the state,without changing the constitutional names.
The current Constitution of Ireland came into effect on 29 December 1937,repealing and replacing the Constitution of the Irish Free State,having been approved in a national plebiscite on 1 July 1937 with the support of 56.5% of voters in the then Irish Free State. The Constitution was closely associated with Éamon de Valera,the President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State at the time of its approval.
The Ministers and Secretaries Acts 1924 to 2020 is the legislation which governs the appointment of ministers to the Government of Ireland and the allocation of functions between departments of state.

The Sinn Féin Funds case was a 1942–1948 Irish court case in which the Sinn Féin party claimed ownership of funds deposited with the High Court in 1924 which had belonged to the Sinn Féin party before 1923. The Sinn Féin Funds Act 1947,which attempted to halt the court case and assign the funds to Bord CistíSinn Féin,was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in an important judgement on separation of powers and private property rights. The original action was subsequently decided against Sinn Féin,on the basis that the pre-1923 party was separate from the 1940s party. Most of the disputed funds were consumed by legal costs.
