Public Safety Acts, in the
Irish Free State. The first two measures of this name (1923, 1924) were temporary acts permitting
internment during and after the
Civil War. The Public Safety (Emergency Powers) Act (1926) was a permanent measure conferring powers of internment, but only following the proclamation by government of a state of emergency. The Public Safety Act (1927–repealed 26 Dec. 1928), introduced following the assassination of Kevin
O'Higgins, provided for
special courts, the imprisonment of members of proscribed organizations, and detention of suspects for up to three months. The Constitution (Amendment No. 17) Act (1931), also commonly referred to as a Public Safety Act, permitted the establishment of a military tribunal and the proscription of dangerous organizations.
De Valera strongly opposed the bill in opposition, suspended it on coming to power, but revived it for use against both the
Blueshirts and the
IRA.
