The Federal Council of the Celtic League is the the seven-member executive council, modelled after the Swiss Federal Council, which constitutes the federal government of the Celtic League and serves as the Celtic collective head of state. For the first time, women have had the majority of seats in the council since Juan Shimmin was replaced by Kirstin Mac Naoimhín. Shimmin's retirement also left the council to be the first without a Manx councillor.
