How long can Brian Cowen be the Taoiseach of Ireland?
There is no time limit on a Taoiseach as such. There must be a general election at least every 5 years. After that the Irish Parliament - Dáil Éireann - elects a Taoiseach. So if the same government won several elections, a Taoiseach could be in power for a long time. If he resigns as Taoiseach, as Bertie Ahern did last year, a new Taoiseach can be elected. Bertie Ahern was Taoiseach for 11 years. Eamon DeValera was Taoiseach for 16 years.
