Constitution (Amendment No. 1) Act 1925

The Constitution (Amendment No. 1) Act, 1925 was an Act amending the Constitution of the Irish Free State. It made technical amendments to the provisions regarding election of members of Seanad Eireann.

The Act added two new articles to the Constitution, Articles 31A and 32A.[1] The new Article 31A provided that the term of office of the first Senators would run from 6 December 1922. The method of numbering new constitutional articles by reference to the previous article number plus "A" remains in use to this day (see Articles 28A and 42A of the 1937 constitution).

The Act became obsolete on the repeal of the 1922 Constitution by the Constitution of Ireland in 1937, and has formally been repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 2016.[2]
