In 1938, Douglas Hyde became the first President of Ireland. With his non-partisan background as a Protestant nationalist and a leading figure in the language revival, he was an inspired choice for the office. He made the office an inclusive one and determined to be a president for all the people of Ireland.

He was to the forefront in providing leadership on the key political issues of his time. He also played a highly significant, but previously unheralded, role in the state’s policy of neutrality during the Second World War.
