Does that mean that the king was the Irish head of state during the war?
.... I think not TTN, as they had their own pres, the aforementioned Mr DeValera.
Er No

President of Ireland from 1938 to 1945 was Dr Douglas Hyde

So under the terms of the 1936 Act he was still King throughout the War . Which makes the Irish actions even more reprehensible and quite possibly illegal!
Illegal to whom ?

As the Parliment of Ireland had voted to remain neutral and not get involved then how was it illegal ?
