∙ 10y agoIreland does not have MPs. Ireland has what are known as TDs, which stands for Teachta Dála. There are 166 TDs in Dáil Éireann, which is the Irish parliament, but only 165 TDs are elected as the Speaker/Ceann Comhairle is automatically re-elected at a general election. A new Ceann Comhairle can then be chosen.
