Re: Supporters for Irish Presidents (was Re: Barony of Slane)

Patrick Cracroft-Brennan:

Would it not have been better for the CHI to have granted arms for the
office of the President of Ireland (which I assume is a coporation
sole in Irish law) and then holders of the said office could have
impaled their personal arms with the arms of the President of Ireland
whilst they held that office?


The following appear in the register of arms:

Vol Q., fol.21, 21st November 1945:

President of Ireland

The shield is impaled. Dexter the arms of Ireland and sinister the personal
arms of the President of Ireland, the shiled being encircled by a lunula or
and surmounted by an Irish helmet of the fourteenth century.
Supporters: dexter an Irish elk, sinister an Irish wolfhound proper.
Mottto: Do dhun glóire Dé & onóra Éireann.
