There were two elections in Ireland on 24 May 1921, as a result of the Government of Ireland Act 1920 to establish the House of Commons of Northern Ireland and the House of Commons of Southern Ireland. The election was used by Irish republicans as the basis of membership of the 2nd Dáil. The 2nd Dáil lasted 388 days. The members who were elected are listed below. 124 Sinn Féin candidates were returned unopposed from 26 geographic constituencies and the National University of Ireland constituency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=General Election of 24 May 1921 )〕 The University of Dublin constituency returned four Independent Unionist candidates, also unopposed, but they refused to attend Dáil Éireann. In addition, according to Irish republican theory 52 members elected from 9 geographic constituencies and the Queen's University of Belfast in Northern Ireland were also entitled to sit in the 2nd Dáil. Six Sinn Féin candidates were elected, 5 of whom had also been returned in the other part of Ireland. 40 Ulster Unionist and 5 Nationalist candidates (representing a remnant of the old Irish Parliamentary Party which had survived in Northern Ireland) were elected. One of the latter won two seats, making a total of six victories. These 45 all refused to attend Dáil Éireann. It was during the 2nd Dáil that the Anglo-Irish Treaty was debated. The treaty was ratified by the 2nd Dáil. ==Election result== *Note: Sinn Féin also won 6 seats in the Northern Ireland election. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Members of the 2nd Dáil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
