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.
Garret Fitzgerald has written: 'The impact of European Community membership on political opinion in Britain and Ireland' -- subject(s): European Economic Community 'Thoughts on two cultures' 'Ireland and social reform today' 'What makes politics tick?'
