The 1937 Irish general election was held on Thursday, 1 July, just over two weeks after the dissolution of the Dáil on 14 June. A plebiscite on whether to approve the new Constitution of Ireland was held on the same day. The newly elected 138 members of the 9th Dáil assembled at Leinster House on 21 July 1937 and the new President of the Executive Council and Executive Council of the Irish Free State were appointed. Fianna Fáil remained in office, though it failed to achieve an outright majority.
