De Valera was not the President at the time of this video. He was Taoiseach. The President was Douglas Hyde who seems not to be present.
De Valera was in deed the Prime minister
Great parade willo, were you on it.

Meanwhile, thousands of Irishmen made their way to England to fight for freedom from the Nazis and then were treated like dirt when they returned to Ireland after the war.
All modeled on the British army
...and the Royal Navy
Except invading.
Except fighting the nazis and their axis of evil. Russell and DVL were too busy reaching around their pals in Berlin. 😂
UP THE REPUBLIC
may we never forget the Women and Men who died for our freedom Ireland Is Full Irish Lives Matter
Shame they never fought the Nazis
Many did, many died and many suffered the injuries of war only to be ignored and demonised by the IRA Govt of Ireland. It was 50 years before this was put right,
Like the Swiss, Swedes, Portuguese and Spanish? Ireland had been treated horribly for 800 years by the English, saw the deaths of a million of her men, women, children and babies by starvation and disease, while Great Britain mainly stood by and watched with glee.
Ireland had just gotten somewhat free of Britain in 1922 and was still recovering from a brutal Civil War of 1922-1923, and the effects of both the Great Depression and an Economic War waged by Britain on the Irish Free State.
Ireland was trying to survive. 75,000 Irishmen did serve in the British armed forces as well as over 5,000 Irish Defence Force soldiers deserted and joined the British as well.
A small country ill-equipped for War on the scale the Nazi menace waged. Dublin was bombed by the Luftwaffe as was Belfast. But Dev sent the Irish Free State fire brigades north to help their Belfast neighbours.
