Irish Elections

Owing to the complexities of proportionate representation, final results of the Irish election of a new Dail Eireann were considerably delayed.

The Government is assured of a large working majority over the Republicans, who are embarrassed by the fact that it will be necessary for them to swear allegiance to George V before taking their seats.

Some of the more important figures elected.

Government Party. President William T. Cosgrave, Carlow; General Richard Mulcahy, North Dublin; Mrs. Collins O'Driscoll, sister of Michael Collins; J. J. Walsh, Cork City; Kevin O'Higgins, Carlow.

Republican Party. Eamon de Valera, County Clare; Patrick J. Rutledge, North Mayo; Countess Markievicz, South Dublin; Frank Aiken, Louth; Mrs. Cathal Brugha, Waterford; Miss Mary MacSwiney, Cork City; Dan Breen, Tipperary.
