There was never any such head of state. President Cabhruil O Dabhlaigh resigned and President Erskine Childers died in office but every other Irish president served a full term. However the question implies a misunderstanding of terms. Between the creation of the Free State in 1922 and the formal declaration of the Republic of Ireland in 1949, the official head of state of Ireland was the British monarch. Thereafter, the President of Ireland (which office existed since 1937)became the Irish head of state. The head of government is a different matter. Between 1922 and 1937, the head of government was called the President of the Executive Council, after 1937 the Taoiseach. Analogous to prime minister. From 10 January until his sudden death on 12 August 1922, Arthur Griffith was the head of government. He was replaced by general Michael Collins - who was killed ten days later in an ambush, who in turn was replaced by W.T. Cosgrave until 1932.

What year was Ireland born?

Countries are not born, but are created. The Republic of Ireland as it is known now first arose during the Easter Rising of 1916. Though the British surpessed this initial movement, it brought Irish Republicanism to the forefront of the social thought. It culminated in Sinn Fien taking a majority of seats and declaring independence in 1918. At this instance the Irish War of Independence then began and lasted until 1921, though fighting continued in Northern Ireland until 1922, and even now there is still instability in Northern Ireland. The Anglo-Irish Treaty signed in 1921 created the Irish Free State. It remained as a Dominion of Great Britain until 1937, when the 1921 Constitution was replaced and Ireland gained full and free independence and its own Sovereign Capacity.
