Regan The construction of a new state with enduring democratic institutions, an army subservient to the civil power, an unarmed police force, and a meritocratic civil service free from political interference are seen quite rightly as the great achievement of the treatyite regime between 1922–32.
The two regimes were of course very different. The revolutionary Sinn Féin proto-state was of necessity clandestine and other than the Departments of Local Government and Finance its ministries were amateurish or even fictional affairs. Ministers consequently treated their portfolios as parttime or sinecures. It was also a one-party regime supported, manned and protected by revolutionaries with goals which most assumed to be the same. The executive, legislature, administration, army and ancillary departments were elements of a party which had spawned a rebel counter-state to undermine the British civil administration in Ireland.

He understood that Ulster Sinn Féiners would swear loyalty to the Dublin parliament and attempt to send members to it.
