[edit] First Provisional Government
The First Provisional Government which was appointed on 14 January 1922 took up office on 16 January 1922. Its' term lasted until 30 August 1922. The Ministry of the Second Dáil was at the time already in existence, and from 10 January 1922 until 9 September 1922, there was a dual system of Government.
- (a) The Second Dáil Cabinet responsible to Dáil Éireann.
- (b) The Provisional Government, apparently responsible to no Parliament.
The dual system terminated with the fusion of the two systems under the Third Dáil on 9 September 1922. After that date, the newly constituted Provisional Government appointed by that Dáil continued in being as the sole Government, until superseded on 6 December 1922, by the formation of the 1st Executive Council of the Irish Free State.
