won the vast majority of Irish seats. Ignoring the London Parliament, where
they were supposed to work, the new Sinn Féin MPs, many of them veterans
of the 1916 Easter Rising, declared independence from Ireland and formed
the first Dáil Éireann (Irish Assembly or Lower House). , based in Dublin's

and the Catholic minority (barely 40%) would be stripped of any real power
or representative force by a Parliament that favored the Unionists through
economic subsidies, Partisan housing allocation and gerrymandering: Derry's
electoral boundaries were redrawn to ensure a Protestant council, even
though the city was two-thirds Catholic. The overwhelmingly Protestant
Royal Ulster Gendarmerie (RUC) and its paramilitary force did not bother to
mask their ideological and sectarian bias: Northern Ireland was, for all intents
and purposes, an apartheid state
RIVERA: The Government and politics of Ireland consists of a parliamentary
representative democratic republic. While there are several political parties
in Ireland, the political landscape is dominated by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael,
historically opposed entities that occupy the traditional central base. The
State is a member of the European Union. Executive power is exercised by a
cabinet. Legislative power is vested in the Oireachtas, the national bicameral
parliament, consisting of the Dáil Éireann (lower house) and the Seanad
Éireann (upper house or Senate). The judiciary is independent of the
executive and the legislature is not a parliamentary coprincipalit
