De Valera's new constitution, ratified by referendum, came into effect on December 29 , 1937 and made "Ireland"—the new name of the state ("Éire" in Irish, which was now proclaimed the first official language)—an independent republic associated with the British Commonwealth only as matter of external policy.
Ireland, Irish Éire, country of western Europe occupying five-sixths of the westernmost major island of the British Isles.
In 1937 he made his country a "sovereign" state, renamed Ireland, or Éire.
In a new constitution ratified by referendum in 1937, the Irish Free State became Ireland (in Irish, Éire), a sovereign, independent democracy tenuously linked with the British Commonwealth (under the External Relations Act of 1936) only for purposes of diplomatic representation.
Éire Creative, a Sydney-based creative design, animation and editing studio, went so far as to publish a YouTube video in an effort to prove the songs' similarities.
Saor Éire (Free Ireland) remains proscribed in the UK: the organisation emerged as a small, communist, republican group in the 1930s; it re-emerged in the 1960s when it engaged in a series of bank robberies; and in 1975 it issued a series of threats against other republican groups although it had effectively been disbanded in 1973.
As president of Sinn Féin, Ó Brádaigh was responsible for the policy of Éire Nua, new Ireland, which proposed a federal Ireland reunited in four provinces, one of them Ulster.
In 1974 he took part in the Feakle ceasefire talks with protestant church leaders and in 1976 met the Ulster Loyalist co-ordinating committee at their request, to discuss whether their policy of an independent six-county Northern Ireland could fit with the nine-county old Irish kingdom of Ulster in Éire Nua.
So, for Saor Éire and others, deproscription is legally possible but problematic: who would apply?
