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.

No. The Roman Empire got as far as Britain, Ireland's neighbouring island, but never reached Ireland. In any case, Northern Ireland only came into existence in 1922, long after the Roman Empire ended. It also ended long before Britain had any role in Ireland. So Northern Ireland was never part of the Roman empire.

The Taoiseach and the ministers officially receive their seals of office from the president. While there must be an election at least every 5 years, it is possible that the same party or parties could be in government again if re-elected, so a government and Taoiseach can stay in power for a long time, not just 5 years. Parliament consists of the Dáil and the Seanad. The Dáil has 166 members who are elected by the people to serve up to 5 years. They make the laws. The Seanad serves mainly as an advisory body to the Taoiseach and the Dáil. It has 60 members who also serve terms up to 5 years. They are not elected by the people.
