The Irish Free State was abolished when Ireland
was formally established on 29 December 1937, the day the Constitution of Ireland came
into force.
Irish independence in 1922 was preceded by the Easter Rising of 1916, when Irish
volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army took over sites in Dublin and Galway under terms
expressed in the Proclamation of the Irish Republic. The seven signatories of this
proclamation, Patrick Pearse, Thomas MacDonagh, Thomas Clarke, Sean MacDiarmada,
Joseph Plunkett, Eamonn Ceannt and James Connolly, were executed, along with nine
others, and thousands were interned precipitating the Irish War of Independence.
Theatre
Following in the tradition of Shaw, Wilde and Samuel Beckett, playwrights such as
Seán O'Casey, Brian Friel, Sebastian Barry, Conor McPherson and Billy Roche have
gained popular success.
