Secretary-General to the President June 1945, had a more fraught relationship with McDunphy and frequently baulked at following McDunphy's rules. McDunphy had a long-term impact on the presidency. His 1945 book "The President of Ireland: His Powers, Functions & Duties" was seen as the bible of the office by those seeking to restrict the post and its occupant. His restrictions, which were viewed as correct (or, if not correct, useful in enabling them to control and restrict presidents) by later civil servants, led President Erskine Childers to accuse one later Secretary to the President of having "the ghost of McDunphy behind you."
