The Chief Secretary was the key office-holder of state in the British administration in Ireland. Towards the end of Crown rule in Ireland, he operated in a manner similar to that of the Prime Minister in the English and later British Parliament. He was in theory the number two in the Lord Lieutenant's administration but from the late 18th century and early 19th century onwards, in parallel with the Prime Ministry in Great Britain, the office frequently eclipsed the nominally superior office, with the Chief Secretary, not the Lord Lieutenant, sitting in the British cabinet. With the partition of Ireland in 1921, the Lord Lieutenant was to remain, as was the Chief Secretary. The Lord Lieutenant would represent the Crown in both parliaments while the Chief Secretary would represent the remaining constituencies still sending representatives to Westminster.

  • The Chief Secretary was the key office-holder of state in the British administration in Ireland. Towards the end of Crown rule in Ireland, he operated in a manner similar to that of the Prime Minister in the English and later British Parliament. He was in theory the number two in the Lord Lieutenant's administration but from the late 18th century and early 19th century onwards, in parallel with the Prime Ministry in Great Britain, the office frequently eclipsed the nominally superior office, with the Chief Secretary, not the Lord Lieutenant, sitting in the British cabinet. With the partition of Ireland in 1921, the Lord Lieutenant was to remain, as was the Chief Secretary. The Lord Lieutenant would represent the Crown in both parliaments while the Chief Secretary would represent the remaining constituencies still sending representatives to Westminster. However, following the Irish Civil War, the new Irish government abrogated the deal and established the Irish Free State in 1922. With the end of direct Crown rule in 1922, and the establishment of two separate Irish Parliaments, one at Stormont for the Northern Ireland constituencies, and a separate Parliament for the Irish Free State, the constitutional arrangement no longer existed. Thus, along with the Lord Lieutenant, the office of the Chief Secretary was abolished. Its governmental role was instead incorporated into the Department of the President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State (now the Department of the Taoiseach) and the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.

  • El Jefe de Secretaría era el administrador de llaves del estado en la administración Británica en Irlanda. Él era en teoría el segundo en la administración del Señor Teniente pero desde comienzos del siglo XIX hacia adelante el oficio frecuentemente eclipsó al nominalmente oficio superior, finalmente terminando con un asiento en el gabinete Británico. El oficio fue abolído en 1922. Su rol gubernamental fue incorporado dentro del Departamento del Presidente del Consejo Ejecutivo del Estado Libre Irlandés . Categoría:Política de Irlanda (es)
  • Der Chief Secretary war eine Schlüsselperson der britischen Verwaltung in Irland. Formell war er die Nummer zwei in der Verwaltung des Lord Lieutenant, praktisch saß aber oft der Chief Secretary im britischen Kabinett und nicht der formell höher gestellte Lord Lieutenant. Das Amt wurde 1922 abgeschafft und die Kompetenzen dem President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State (heute Taoiseach) übertragen. (de)
