This Dáil would not have been meeting to-day if there had been a dissolution. ... I did not ask for a dissolution, because we passed an Act last year to enable the Dáil, during this critical period, to be brought together at any time that there was need for doing so, so that the Executive at any time would have to assemble the Dáil in case there was any national issue that demanded its assembly. ... when the Dáil adjourns now it will not meet again unless there is some national issue which makes it necessary to call the Dáil together. 27 March 2022 23 September 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210923214551/https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/1944-05-10/2/ live The act, which would have been unconstitutional under Article 16.3.2° if not for the state of emergency in effect under Article 28.3.3° during the Second World War, was intended to increase national security by minimising the interval during which no Dáil was in existence.https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/1943-04-14/18/ General Elections (Emergency Provisions) Bill, 1943—Second Stage Dáil Debates 89 15 14 April 1943 Houses of the Oireachtas 27 March 2018 15 June 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200615192657/https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/1943-04-14/18/ live The 11th Dáil lasted 1 July 1943 7 June 1944.
