Abolition
In the Irish Free State the Courts of Justice Act 1924 replaced the Court of Appeal in Southern Ireland with a Supreme Court of Justice under the Constitution of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Éireann) Act 1922 by the Dáil, although a Court of Criminal Appeal was also established to hear criminal appeals that would have been heard by the Court of Appeal's Criminal Division.
A Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland was re-created under the Judicature (Northern Ireland) Act 1978.
