Constitution (Amendment No. 2) Act 1927

The Constitution (Amendment No. 2) Act 1927 (previously bill no. 34 of 1926)[1] was an Act amending the Constitution of the Irish Free State which had been adopted in 1922. It amended Article 21 of the constitution to provide for the automatic re-election of the Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann.[2]

This provision was replicated in Article 16.6 of the Constitution of Ireland adopted in 1937.[3]

The Act became obsolete on the repeal of the 1922 Constitution in 1937, and was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 2016.[4]
