It is Against Constitution Dublin, Jan. 8.
It is officially learned that Dr. Hyde, President of Eire, has convened a meeting of the Council of State for today to consult the Council whether the offences against the State Bill, empowering the Government to intern people on suspicion, should be referred by him to the Supreme Court.
The President wants to know "if the Bill is repugnant to the Constitution."
This will be the first meeting of the Council of State, which is purely a consultative body, since it was established under the new Constitution of December, 1937.—Reuter.
