In 1922, a committee chaired by Michael Collins convened in Room 112 to draft the first Irish Constitution, making The Shelbourne the backdrop to the birth of the Irish Free State. Now named the Constitution room, the original antique chairs and the table on which this historic document was signed are still there.
