For Éamon de Valera's 1922–1923 Council of State, see Irish republican legitimatism.
The Council of State (Irish: an Chomhairle Stáit[1]) is a body established by the Constitution of Ireland to advise the President of Ireland in the exercise of many of their discretionary, reserve powers.[2] It also has authority to provide for the temporary exercise of the duties of the president if these cannot be exercised by either the president or the Presidential Commission[3] (an eventuality that is very unlikely to occur, since it would require the simultaneous absence of the President and two members of the three-member Commission).[4]
