  It shall be entrusted to Parliament and the Executive Government to protect and honor the Great Seal of Ireland , for its imprint shall represent nothing less than the existence of the word and law of common Nation of Ireland .

45.3 Affixing the Great Seal  
  The Parliament of the Nation is to provide for the safe custody of the Seal, which may only be used by the authority of the Parliament excepting those documents listed as mandatory for the President, Board and Officials by this constitution.  
  Every instrument to which the Seal is affixed is to be signed by either the President, or countersigned by at least two Congress members of the Congress or by or by another person appointed by the Congress for the purpose.  
  The Congress may determine either generally or in any particular case that a signature may be affixed by a mechanical means specified in the determination.
