Comhairle na dTeachtaí Council of State, had Éamon de Valera as President. In 1926 de Valera resigned as President, left the Sinn Féin party and founded Fianna Fáil, which in 1927 entered the Fourth Dáil. Comhairle na dTeachtaí, never more than a symbolic body, was thereby rendered defunct. In 1930 Cumann na nGaedheal TDs alleged in the Dáil that de Valera had addressed Comhairle na dTeachtaí in December 1926, after the foundation of Fianna Fáil; this was to cast aspersions on de Valera's commitment to the Constitution of the Irish Free State.

Sinn Féin (newspaper) Sinn Féin (newspaper) Sinn Féin was a weekly Irish nationalist newspaper edited by the Dublin typesetter, journalist and political thinker Arthur Griffith. It was published by the Sinn Féin Printing & Publishing Company Ltd. (SFPP) between 1906 and 1914, and replaced an earlier newspaper called the "United Irishman" which was liquidated after a libel suit. The SFPP brought out the "Sinn Féin Daily" in 1909 but had to abandon it when it plunged the company into enormous debt. The "Sinn Féin" weekly and the SFPP both came to an end when they were suppressed by the British Government in 1914.
