Английская Википедия:Council of State (Ireland)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use Hiberno-English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:PoliticsRofI The Council of State (Шаблон:Lang-ga[1]) is a body established by the Constitution of Ireland to advise the President of Ireland in the exercise of many of their discretionary, reserve powers.[2] It also has authority to provide for the temporary exercise of the duties of the president if these cannot be exercised by either the president or the Presidential Commission[3] (an eventuality that is very unlikely to occur, since it would require the simultaneous absence of the President and two members of the three-member Commission).[4]
Members
The Council of State consists of a number of government officials, who sit Шаблон:Lang, as well as certain former office holders and up to seven individuals of the president's own choosing. The Шаблон:Lang members comprise the attorney general as well as individuals from each of three branches of government: legislature, executive and judiciary.[5]
Unlike most of the president's other duties, which must be conducted in accordance with the advice of the cabinet, the seven presidential appointees to the Council of State are chosen at the president's absolute discretion.[6] These appointees retain their positions until the president's successor takes office.[7]

The Constitution explicitly states that members appointed by the President may resign,[11] or be dismissed by the President.[12] Former office holders are members if "able and willing to act as a member",[13] which implies an ability to resign; but there is no provision for dismissing them. When the McCracken Tribunal found in 1997 that former Taoiseach Charles Haughey had misled the Tribunal, there were calls for him to formally resign from the Council of State.[14][15] He did not do so, although he sent his regrets to subsequent meetings of the council until his death.[14][16]
Members of the Council of State may be excused from jury duty.[17]
The Constitution specifies a declaration of office, "in the presence of Almighty God", which a new member must take before attending an official meeting.[18] Tánaiste Éamon Gilmore, a declared agnostic, sought legal advice before attending the 2013 Council meeting.[19] The 1996 Constitutional Review Group recommended making the religious part optional.[9]
Role
Before exercising any reserve power but one, the President is required to seek the advice of the Council of State, although not required to follow its advice. The one exception, where the President has "absolute discretion",[20] is in deciding to refuse a dissolution to a Taoiseach who has lost the confidence of the Dáil. The remaining discretionary powers, which do require prior consultation with the Council of State, are as follows (for a detailed description of the president's reserve powers see: President of Ireland#Discretionary powers):
- Convening a meeting of either or both Houses of the Oireachtas[21]
- Addressing the Oireachtas[22]
- Addressing the Nation[23]
- Establishing a committee of privileges to resolve a dispute between the Houses over a putative money bill[24]
- Abridging the time for considering a bill in the Seanad[25]
- Referring a bill to the Supreme Court to test its Constitutionality[26]
- Referring a bill to the people for an "ordinary referendum"[27]
The draft of the Constitution gave more powers to the Council of State. Article 13 allows additional powers to be given to the President acting on the advice of the Government; originally, it was the advice of the Council of State that was to be required.[28] Article 14 provides for a Presidential Commission as the collective vice-presidency of the state when the President is absent; originally the Council of State was to fill this function.[28] Nevertheless, under Article 14.4 of the constitution the Council of State, acting by a majority of its members, has authority to "make such provision as to them may seem meet" for the exercise of the duties of the president in any contingency the constitution does not foresee.[3] This provision has never been invoked.
The Third Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 1958, which was defeated at a referendum, gave a role for the Council of State in the work of an envisaged constituency boundary commission.
Close to the time of its inception, the Council of State was likened to a privy council,[29][30] although Jim Duffy calls this "more apparent than real" as it has no legislative or judicial functions.[28] Gemma Hussey, who was a member of the Council of State in 1989–90, described it as "largely a symbolic body".[31] Actress Siobhán McKenna, appointed to the council by Patrick Hillery, suggested in the 1980s that the Council approach Ronald Reagan regarding the Troubles in Northern Ireland; Hillery's secretary remarked there was "no point in trying to explain" to McKenna that the council had no role in such matters.[32]
Meetings
Working meetings called by the President for consultation under the terms of the Constitution are rare, though less so since the election of Mary Robinson in 1990. Four meetings have related to an address the Oireachtas, which requires the approval of the Government as well as the consultation of the Council of State. All other meetings have been to advise the President about whether to refer a bill to the Supreme Court.[33]
Meetings are held in Áras an Uachtaráin.[14] Members arrive 15 minutes before the meeting starts, and are served light refreshments in the Council of State Room.[14] At the first meeting of the Council in Mary McAleese's first term, there was a photocall in the State Reception Rooms.[14] The council's deliberations are held in camera,[14] as for cabinet meetings, though there is no explicit requirement for confidentiality. The Irish Times obtained details of a 1984 meeting from an unnamed attendee,[34] while James Dooge discussed a 1976 meeting years later with journalist Stephen Collins.[35] A 2019 legal request for records of 1999 and 2002 council meetings was rejected by the Supreme Court in 2022 on the grounds that the President's constitutional immunity from judicial scrutiny extended to the Council of State.[36] Members are seated in order of precedence in the Presidents' Room around a 1927 dining table purchased by President de Valera in 1961.[14] The Secretary-General to the President serves as clerk to the council.[37] The Council does not offer collective advice; the President asks each member in turn to comment, and further discussion may involve several members.[28] No vote or show of hands is taken.[38] In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that the EU directive on public access to environmental information did not apply to the President or the Council of State; the judgment stated that the President's Constitutional immunity from court or Oireachtas investigation extended to the Council in its role as advisor to the President.[39]
Apart from the Council of State's official meetings, its members are invited to important state functions, such as state funerals, the National Day of Commemoration, and the inauguration of the next President. The first President, Douglas Hyde, dined monthly with the members of his Council of State.[40] The seven new presidential nominees of Mary McAleese's second term were introduced at a luncheon in the Áras the month after their appointment.[41] Campaigning in the 1990 presidential election, Mary Robinson promised to have meetings of the Council regularly rather than on "an emergency basis".[42]
Addresses to the Oireachtas
Date of meeting[33] | President | Topic of Address | Date of Address (link to text) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
20 December 1968[43] | Éamon de Valera | 50th anniversary of the First Dáil | 21 January 1969 | Brendan Corish was the only absentee from the Council of State meeting.[44] |
29 June 1992 | Mary Robinson | "the Irish Identity in Europe"[45] | 8 July 1992 | |
24 January 1995 | Mary Robinson | "Cherishing the Irish Diaspora" | 2 February 1995 | |
28 October 1999 | Mary McAleese | Marking the millennium[46] | 16 December 1999 | Charles Haughey, Albert Reynolds, and Mary Robinson were absent.[14] |
Referring of bills
In some cases, the President has decided to sign the bill (thereby enacting it) without referring it to the Supreme Court; in other cases, the President has referred the bill (or sections of it[38]) and the court has upheld its constitutionality; and in other cases the Court has found some or all of the referred portions to be unconstitutional. It is not revealed whether some or all members of the Council of State counselled for or against the President's course of action.
Jim Duffy in 1991 criticised the lack of supporting resources for members of the council; at meetings they were provided only with a copy of the Constitution.[28] By contrast, prior to the 2013 meeting to discuss the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill, a dossier of background information was sent to each member, including legal briefs and news reports.[47]
Although the serving Chief Justice is a member of the council, by convention they do not get involved in substantive discussions on the bill, as they will be involved in the deliberations if the bill does get referred.[35][47] Therefore, retired Chief Justices and the President of the High Court play a greater role in the discussion.[35][47] The 2013 meeting was the first at which two serving members of the Supreme Court were present, as John Murray is an ex-Chief Justice but was then an ordinary member of the Court, the first such since the term of the Chief Justice was limited to seven years in 1997.[35][48]
Date of meeting[33] | Bill (section) | President | Outcome | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Шаблон:Dts | Offences against the State (Amendment) Bill, 1940 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and upheld[49][50] | The government had unofficially supported the referral as the 1940 act replaced a section of the Offences against the State Act 1939 which had been found unconstitutional, leading to the release of interned IRA members who soon made a major arms raid.[51] W. T. Cosgrave was the only absent member of the council.[52] The Dublin North-West branch of the Labour Party passed a resolution urging William Norton to withdraw from the Council "which exists for the purpose of endorsing Fianna Fáil restrictions on liberty".[53] Hyde instructed attendees not to discuss "political considerations" or "legal arguments", which limited the value of the meeting.[54] |
Шаблон:Dts | School Attendance Bill, 1942 | Шаблон:Sortname | Шаблон:Nowrap[55][56] | Hyde's 1940 instruction was not repeated, after De Valera advised Michael McDunphy, Secretary-General to the President, that it was unhelpful.[54] |
Шаблон:Dts | Health Bill, 1947 | Шаблон:Sortname | Signed without referral[57] | Absentees were George Gavan Duffy, Douglas Hyde, Timothy Sullivan, W. T. Cosgrave, and Richard Mulcahy.[58] |
Шаблон:Dts | Electoral (Amendment) Bill, 1961 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and upheld[59][60] | |
Шаблон:Dts | Income Tax Bill, 1966 | Шаблон:Sortname | Signed without referral[61] | All members attended.[62] On 7 March, before the President announced a decision, the Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, 1967 was introduced and passed by the Oireachtas.[63] This pre-emptively cancelled the contentious sections of the original Bill.[63][64] Next day, the President signed both bills into law.[64][65] |
Шаблон:Dts | Criminal Law (Jurisdiction) Bill, 1975 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and upheld[66][67] | James Dooge, Cathaoirleach of the Seanad, was absent.[68] |
Шаблон:Dts (a) | Emergency Powers Bill, 1976 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and upheld[69][70] | The meeting, which discussed two bills, lasted 4 hours.[71] Maurice E. Dockrell was the only absentee.[71] President Ó Dálaigh and Attorney General Declan Costello debated points of law in great detail.[28] Minister Paddy Donegan described the President's decision to refer the bill as a "thundering disgrace", precipitating Ó Dálaigh's resignation. James Dooge later suggested that Ó Dálaigh was more concerned with asserting his right to refer the bill than casting doubt on its Constitutionality.[35] As the bill was formally stated to be emergency legislation, most Constitutional safeguards did not apply to it.[35] |
Шаблон:Dts (b) | Criminal Law Bill, 1976 | Шаблон:Nowrap | Signed without referral[72] | Same meeting as preceding |
Шаблон:Dts | Housing (Private Rented Dwellings Bill), 1981 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and struck down[73][74] | |
Шаблон:Dts | Electoral (Amendment) Bill, 1983 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and struck down[75][76] | Absentees were Siobhán McKenna, Seán MacEntee, and James Dillon.[77] The bill would have given British citizens the right to vote in all elections in the Republic of Ireland. The Ninth Amendment of the Constitution in 1984 removed the obstacle with regard to Dáil elections but not Presidential elections or referendums (ordinary or constitutional).[78] The Electoral (Amendment) Act, 1985 extended the franchise for Dáil elections.[79] |
Шаблон:Dts | Criminal Justice Bill, 1983 | Шаблон:Sortname | Signed without referral[80] | Siobhán McKenna and Máirín Bean Uí Dhálaigh were absent.[34] |

Шаблон:Dts | Matrimonial Home Bill, 1993 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and struck down[85][86] | |

Шаблон:Dts | Equal Status Bill, 1997 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred and struck down[95][96] | Charles Haughey was absent.[97] |
Шаблон:Dts (a) | Planning and Development Bill 1999 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred Part V; upheld[98][99] | |
Шаблон:Dts (b) | Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Bill 1999 | Шаблон:Sortname | Referred §§ 5 and 10; upheld[98][100] | Same meeting as preceding |

Шаблон:Dts | International Protection Bill 2015 | Шаблон:Sortname | Signed without referral[112] | Liam Cosgrave, Mary Robinson and Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh did not attend.[113] The press release stated the meeting would consider whether:[114]
