TL;DRAbstract
Sinn Féin's achievements of the previous two years reached their apogee on 21 January 1919 with the formal opening of the first Dáil Éireann, or Irish parliament. The Act of Union was formally repudiated, the Irish republic which had been proclaimed in arms in 1916 was now confirmed by a democratically elected assembly, and (at least in theory) the newly elected MPs could proceed to legislate for their country. The Sinn Féin deputies could choose a government and begin to implement Griffith's long-term programme.
