Ireland did not have a president till 1937. It is a mostly symbolic office and a Taoiseach (prime minister) addressed Parliament in 2007.
It took a war for independence, a civil war, and years of troubles before the republic was finally established in 1949.
I don't think the Irish want to open that can of worms. The British would then bill them for the damage to Dublin in 1916 and following
