This page will at some point have to be renamed Irish Oath of Allegiance Andrew Yong 16:58, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)
There is no such thing as the Irish Oath of Allegiance. It wasn't an oath of allegiance to Ireland, nor to the king, but to the Irish Free State. Under Wiki naming conventions require the creation of a name in the format [[Oath of Allegiance (Ireland)]], but only if other articles on other oaths are written, in which case Oath of Allegiance would become a disambigulation page.

Thought some comment should be added and this historical formula mentioned in wikipedia. Stamboul 11:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
This seems biased. Can we get a bias header on top of this article? —Preceding

There's an issue in the "Reaction" section with the outline of the anti-treaty campaigner's objections to the oath. Before 1931, it literally was to the British king that politicians gave their allegiance. After 1931, it wasn't, though the campaigners may still have perceived the monarch of the Irish Free State to be the British monarch. Maybe something like this would work: "The oath was widely condemned by the anti-treaty campaigners for requiring Irish politicians to give allegiance to the British king, who the campaigners continued to consider was monarch of the Irish Free State even after the enactment of the Statute of Westminster 1931." -- Ħ MIESIANIACAL 01:32, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
This article is heavily pov, essentially blaming Collins and the Irish for the Oath/fidelity idea. Yet, it doesn't answer the more obvious question of why an Oath of any sort was necessary and why the British were so insistent upon it given the clear Irish opposition to it during the Treaty negotiations (See, for instance, Childers to DeValera 21,10.1921 and Dev to Griffith, 25.10.1921). Can anybody answer why the British didn't just drop the idea/ why did they insist upon humiliating the Irish? 188.141.10.11 ( talk) 19:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
