Standing Council of Irish Chiefs and Chieftains

The Standing Council of Irish Chiefs and Chieftains (Irish: Buanchomhairle Thaoisigh Éireann) is an organisation which was established to bring together claimants to be surviving Chiefs of the Name from the Gaelic nobility of Ireland. == Issues == As a republic, the Constitution of Ireland prohibits the conferral of "titles of nobility" by the Republic of Ireland, or their acceptance without permission of the Government; further, Irish chieftainships did not descend by primogeniture but by election from within kinship pools.
